Dandruff thick and scaly
I have thick danduff on crown area it's quite itchy it's flaky what is it I have only on crown it's more visible when I do head bath
Dandruff can be treated with lotions and shampoo (not commercial ones). Some people do have more oily scalp which cause visible flakes which we call dandruff. There are some other conditions also which can present like flaking of the scalp and have to be ruled out. Do not apply oil on scalp as it will increase the problem. Please contact me with photos through online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment.,

you need to get your scalp properly examined to know whether the excessive flaking is because of seborrheic dermatitis or an inflammatory condition like psoriasis. Kindly do not delay the treatment and get a consultation done with a qualified dermatologist. You can send me images through private online consult for a better assessment of the problem and approaching it accordingly. Hope this is helpful.
