Scalp flaking can be due to several reasons. Psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis or simply severe dandruff. It is not advisable to prescribe without examining the patient. Kindly send photos using private chat for better understanding of the problem. Once diagnosis is made, then only we can prescribe some medicine. Please do not use anything without proper examination.
