How To Treat For The Flakes Coming Out Of Scalp?

Hello doctor basically I have white flakes coming out of my scalp on itching and sometimes it hurts. Earlier I used to get lots of pimples on my scalp extremely painfull ones. I consulted good dermatologists for the same problem. Initially tried with nizoral later 8x and sebowash but none of them seem to stop the flaking. Can you help me with the problem.plus I hav lost hair in a patchy way on my scalp at a point due to constant itching and flaking.

Hello,

I have gone through your complaints and would recommend you to use a ketoconazole salicylic acid shampoo twice weekly along with a lotion containing beclomethasone and clotrimazole on the itchy and flaky areas of the scalp twice daily.

Also take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
