What Is The White Patch Near The Centre Of Scalp?
Hi I have found a white patch near the centre of my scalp. I think this was originally due to a build up of hard skin over several weeks. I tend to shampoo and condition my hair once a week and don t use hair products every day.The white patch of hard skin is starting to break apart. It is like it is hard and crusty. Do you have any idea what this could be?

It can be seborrheic dermatitis, a type of condition that is due to scalp fungus.
need to apply lotion containing ketoconazole, once at night...for at least 2 weeks
and you can also apply mild steroid lotion for few days to get quick relief..
