Suggest Treatment For Dry And Flaky Skin On The Scalp
Sir, i have flaking on my scalp, which have turned into minor wounds due to me scratching. It dosent itch much but semi translucent and white flakes appear on the scalp and in between hair. It is spreading but dosent itch, but its in patches and not full hair(almost) Whenever i use nisral ketonidosol 2℅ shampoo, it reduces drastically but reappears in few hours. Hence i wash hair daily with shampoo, yet it reappears and flakes. Kindly help. Thanks
