Flaky scalp

2023-08-23 18:15:27
Hello, I have been facing the issue of itchy flaky scalp(Dandruff) since 1 year. Some are saying it is Psoriasis on the scalp. Whenever I apply salicylic acid lotion recommended by the local doctor it stops and after a hair bath my scalp skin becomes dry and the problem arises again. Tired of the use of many home remedies but nothing helps in giving permanent solutions. Please advise the permanent cure for this. Thank you.
