Suggest Remedy For Persistent Dry Scalp In A Child
My daughter is 10 years old and for probably about 4 years I ve been using a medicated shampoo in her hair for what I think is dry scalp. It normally comes and goes but for the past few months, it s a lot more persistent and I m starting to notice it s just around her hairline all the way around and her skin looks affected to me. Could this be more than just dry scalp? I m considering a visit to a dermatologist.

shampoo can not prevent dry scalp. for that massage oil is required. medicated shampoo are mainly to prevent dandruff. it can be used just one or two times a week. you can visit dermatologist. it can be fungal infection for which scalp scrapping can be stained and tested.
