Suggest Remedy For Rough And Dry Hair
I have a great problem with my hairs. They are always rough, dry and so much dense that I always feel a weight on my head, causing headaches. The most important thing is that my head skin is suffering from fungal infection ( Dandruff or Ringworm ). This infection is severe. Appearance: Small circle patches, usually white (when dry white flakes are visible on them), sometimes they become red and blood comes out of them. TIME: 3 YEARS. I have used anti dandruff shampoos like head n shoulders but after taking shower, white flakes appears again within 2-3 hours. Please help me.

Hi. I think its psoriasis, not simple "dandruff". It is desirable to consult a dermatologist to confirm or exclude psoriasis. If its psoriasis, tar based shampoo and topical steroid lotions are very helpful. Are you having similar thing anywhere on body? Thanks
