The market now offers a plethora of anti dandruff shampoo, but it is wise to use it sparingly as they are not good to use continually. Just make sure every time you give your cat a bath, they are completely rinsed, because any chemical from the shampoo that left on your cat's skin may just cause bigger problems.

Tea Tree Oil as Treatment 

Tea tree oil is good to eliminate dandruff, and it can be used for many cat skin problems as well. Just ensure that you dilute the tea tree oil with carrier oil before using it. 2 drop of tea tree oil is enough for a teaspoon carrier oil mixture. The main purpose of this treatment is to eliminate the itchiness in the cat's skin. The oil can also be mixed with herbal cat shampoo.
