Hello,
Thanks for the query.

These white scales can be dandruff,

Another possibility is scaling due to use of minoxidil.

Even minoxidil can lead to dry and scaly scalp.

continue the treatment,

slowly you will get adapted to it.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
