Dry scalps

2018-03-11 15:34:09
I have had problems with a dry scalp for a very long time, since I was about 12/13. It’s starting to ruin my relationships, I’ve also recently had a red itchy mark around my hairline, which I believe is apart of it. I tried multiple hair shampoos and treatments but nothing has worked. I don’t want to go my GP as I believe I’m wasting their time.
