HELLO DOCTOR,

ALSO AT THE CENTER OF MY SCALP SOME PIMPLE TYPE PART OCCURS AGAIN AND AGAIN. I HAVE CONSULTED MANY DERMATOLOGISTS, TRIED VARIOUS SHAMPOOS AND MEDICINES BUT DIDNT GOT THE SOLUTION. INITIALLY I HAD ITCHING ON MY SCALP BUT THESE DAYS I AM FACING WITH ITCHING ON MY OTHER BODY PARTS ALSO. BY THE EVENING MY SCALP STARTS SMELLING VERY BAD. AND DUE TO ITCHING VERY POWDERY SUBSTANCE GETS ACCUMULATED ON THE SCALP MAY BE ITS WORST DANDRUFF. I WANT TO KNOW WHETHER IT IS RELATED TO DRYNESS OF SKIN ?
WILL PANCHKARMA BE THE SOLTUION? PLEASE SUGGEST ME SO THAT I CAN GET RID OF THIS HAIR PROBLEM...

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Persisting itchy scalp can be dandruff or scalp psoriasis. Scalp psoriasis is a skin disorder where dry flakes are found on the body even the scalp and they do bleed occasionally. The psoriasis is a long term disorder with remission in between. For scalp psoriasis coal tar and ketoconazole based shampoo lotions are prescribed which are to be used twice or thrice a week till remission. I suggest you visit a dermatologist for review of your lesions and exact dosage for the treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Smruti Pevekar
