For people who have psoriasis/eczema/bad skin, how did you get rid of your dandruff?

I’ve been dealing with dandruff since I was a kid, it’s always made me really insecure and always wear a hat. I’ve tried plenty of different hair products, none seem to work. It’s not just my hair on my scalp, it’s my beard as well. I’m a 19 year old male (Caucasian), I’ve been already deciding if I want to go bald or not. I still get dandruff even with a buzzcut and stubble. My skin just sucks. Please feel free to recommend products. I’m trying to improve my life and I find this to be one of the most annoying things.

    Talk to a skin doctor and see if you have a fungal infection. Some skin infections can masquerade as dandruff.

    I am still not entirely certain it actually helps me with my dandruff but you might want to try a shampoo that contains this https://www.nhs.uk/medicines/ketoconazole/

    Subjectively I’d say it improved my situation but it is not gone like some people describe it.
