YES
I have been using neem oil for dandruff and psoriasis. I rub the neem oil directly on the psoriasis, and use a high quality organic neem shampoo. My dandruff improved in only 2-3 days, but I will keep using it for a few weeks. I have been following the instructions on the bottle and leaving the shampoo on my scalp for 3-5 minutes before rinsing. I have had an itchy, red scalp for several years, and I feel it is some sort of fungal problem. Pure neem oil is too strong to use on my scalp, and it also seems to slightly irritate my skin, so I have diluted it half with coconut oil and it seems to be working well. Great improvement after several weeks!
