Question 3

I wanted to know the best lotion for dandruff. Please tell whether I have to use Topisal lotion or D'free lotion . Try give me just the best out of the 2 lotions. Benefits of both and which is best for better results.

Accepted Answer

For dandruff, **Topisal lotion** (salicylic acid-based) is great if you have thick flakes or scalp buildup, as it exfoliates and reduces scaling. **D'Free lotion** (ketoconazole-based) is better if dandruff is due to fungal infections, as it targets the root cause.

If your dandruff is mild and itchy, go with D'Free for better long-term results. For severe scaling, start with Topisal and then switch to D'Free.
