A. You can usually control dandruff by regularly washing hair with a medicated shampoo. You can buy medicated shampoo from the pharmacy or supermarket. Look for shampoos with the following ingredients: 2% ketaconazole – for example, Nizoral.Brush your child's hair before you wash it to loosen up dead skin flakes and then wash your child's hair.Gently rub your baby's scalp with your fingers or a washcloth to loosen the scales. Don't scratch. Wash your baby's hair once a day with mild baby shampoo. Loosen the scales with a small, soft-bristled brush or fine-toothed comb before rinsing off the shampoo.
