I see white patches on my scalpe

2020-07-26 09:56:08
I have recently shaved my head. I am seeing some white patches on my scalpe(please refer the attached images for reference). Though they don't itch and also I don't get any other irritation but those patches are there.  I do have dandruff problem ( I see  white flakes coming out of scalpe). I have tried some anti dandruff shampoos but they only help until I use them. I am looking for a more permanent solution for these. Thanx 🙏
