PCOS and dandruff??

General/Advice

So I’ve had a slight issue with dandruff for a few years but I always managed to get rid of it for months at a time using dandruff shampoo. I’d go back to normal shampoo and it would take months for the dandruff to come back, and then I’d use the dandruff shampoo again and pretty much just repeat this cycle.

This time around the dandruff shampoo is doing absolutely NOTHING for me. If anything I feel like it’s making the dry skin on my scalp even worse. I’ll be completely honest, I didn’t even know that pcos could cause dandruff until yesterday. This whole time I thought it was just a non-pcos related problem.

I guess my question here for anyone who’s had this issue is, how did you manage to get rid of it?

Is there anything different I could be doing besides the dandruff shampoo to help combat all the flakey-ness? It’s starting to drive me insane because it just seems to be getting worse and worse so anything would be such a big help.
