i have basically always struggled with dandruff, and have had trouble finding a solution that worked consistently--some products seem to work for a bit, but then eventually seem ineffective.
i went to a dermatologist because my dandruff was bothering me so much; he explained he was pretty sure i have seborrheic dermatitis, which can just express itself as a chronically flaky scalp.
his solution for me was to cycle through three kinds of shampoo for a few weeks at a time: one prescription ketoconazole shampoo, then regular Head+Shoulders and Selsun Blue. i also get a prescription for clobetasol propionate solution in a little dropper, which i'm supposed to use for more intense outbreaks that might happen. luckily, so far, i have been fine just cycling shampoos! recommend giving this a shot :)

struggled for years trying all the other products out there before finding this -- there are many causes and this shampoo targets ones not covered by LCD/ZPT shampoos. i use this every few days and other days low-poo/no-poo to be gentle on my scalp. hope you find something that works for you!

if you experience flakes and/or general scalp dryness, Nizoral is the best-kept secret. dermatologists frequently rec it both for flaky scalps and hair loss. rub it into your scalp (leave it on for a few minutes so it can do its thing) and then use your regular shampoo and conditioner after it. you’ll seriously never have flakes again, and you’ll be doing preventative care for hair thinning.

Sooo, I don't have acne, but I get some outbreaks often. And I've heard from multiple people (including myself) that this does work really well. I apply it while showering so I can rinse it off immediately.
Though, it depends on where you live because apparently the shampoos in Europe don't work, it doesn't have the ingredient (whatever that ingredient even is).

the first thing to be said is that this recommendation applies equally to everyone
the next thing to be said is that you have, inevitably, been suffering from a cocktail of depression and anxiety for more than a decade, and this has made you incredibly tired
what you need is to make NYE plans with a good friend you haven't seen in years; she will bring you out to the club and it will be fuckin rad; you'll buy some cute clothes and she'll do your makeup, despite these not being things you really ever do, and you'll forget how much you typically disdain your appearance for one night
next, you're going to have to just read for awhile, books and essays and youtube comments and text messages
after enough reading, you'll have your own thoughts and questions, and you'll inevitably see someone else asking the question "am i trans?"
reading this question will naturally lead to you asking yourself: "am i trans?"
the answer is yes
at this point, you have transitioned into a girl, and everything else is just showing off; decide on a new name; get a therapist and a doctor who are supportive; pump your body full of the hormones it needs; get some cute new clothes and burn your old shit; ask for help picking out and doing your makeup
stop treating your body like a shipping container for your sad brain; transform it into the hot girl your brain already knows you are
