Q91
How should I assess online claims about dandruff care results?
Online performance feedback varies from person to person and is unverified information and should not be directly used as a basis. A more reliable way to judge: first make it clear that when dandruff is repeated or severe, you should seek medical treatment to check for seborrheic dermatitis. There is sufficient evidence for medicated washes (PMID 27148560, PMID 12476017); the positioning of scalp care is to assist daily cleaning and not to replace medical treatment.
On this basis, first use a single experience to observe the process and immediate feelings, and then decide whether to continue. For any publicity that says "anti-dandruff is effective", check whether it clearly explains the boundaries between care and medical treatment.
