Pretty sure dandruff doesn't spread to face, only scalps.
Maybe its due to the dandruff, another skin condition occured?

the dandruff first spread to my hairline near to my ear, then slowly spread to face and skin around the nose. Eyebrow also got, it is like dandruff grow on eyebrow.

My cheek will become "flaky" when its dry. maybe thats what TS is experience . I have to wash my face often,especially in air con room for a long time.

when i apply some water to my face, the flake will disappeared, but later after the water dried the white flake will appear again. Continue apply moisturizer and wash face often the problem will go away?

Hi,

This problem still happen now after several years.
Doctor also can not cure it.
Now just wash face everyday to clean the oil and then apply moisturizer to control it.
Already spread to my chest.

Anyone have some further solution for this problem?

Thanks a lot..

Sounds like seb derm. Did u ever get a specialist to confirm it?

If it's really SD, it tends to be chronic and long-term.
Mine is on and off for many yrs already.
I got both redness and flakes , always at the usual spots where sebum production is high -  eyebrows, T-zone, nose folds

Yeah, already consult with skin specialist several years ago and cant cure it. Skin specialist only said this is not cause by bacteria and ask me wash face with the soap cream that he gave and apply moisturiser after wash. Have been doing this for years and just manage to control it and cant cure it.
Now it spread to chest.

Sorry to say, if it does not itch, sounds like SD, for which KL's best dermatologists have no cure. All the above lotions, moisturizers, dandruff soaps etc. will not stop it, maybe even feed it and make it worse, especially powerful steroids that damage the skin. Google SD. There are sites where people exchange info.

Try tiny amounts of things to soothe the redness and lessen the appearance of flakes. Start by washing only with sea-salt solution, cheap supermarket stuff is fine. You might want to hide red spots with BB-cream.

For mine one it is itchy.
If i do not wash my face for several days with soap cream and apply moisturiser, the skin will become reddish and itchy with skin start to peel off.
For the new affected skin area in my chest, it is also itchy.
Have been struggle with this problem for almost 10 years already, really hope that this problem will go away soon and back to normal life.
