Hello dear doctors, I am a 20 year female, having t1D for 12 years now. I have had this small flakes in large quantities in my hair, I have used anti dandruff shampoo but still it remains inside and i have to scrape my scalp to remove it and they are scattered all over on my head. This problem is for more than 1.5 years. Can you doctors please provide me a solution here, I have attached a photo similar to my condition. Thankyou
