What Causes Excessive Flaky Dandruff On Scalp And Eyebrows?

Hi, I am 40 years old for 20 years I have this flaky white danderoff like crusty stuff on my eyebrows that flakes off and makes a mess. Its really bad now. I run my fingers through my eyebrows and it snows the flaky white stuff everywhere. Plus I have in on my cheek and nose triangle too. I want to rid myself of this. What can I use?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to seborrheic dermatitis. Using medicated shampoo containing salicylic acid and Ketoconazole for twice weekly will be helpful for this. If no improvement then you may need topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol. For this you can approach a dermatologist.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
