Itchy Scalp & flakes after doing shampoo

2020-09-06 19:40:15
My scalp never stops itching even after applying oil/shampooing. Every morning i see white flakes on my pillow after waking up. And I'm facing several problems on my scalp. I got pimples on my scalp that itches a lot. I feel it very irritating. Please help me out. What should i do in this pandemic situation? I'm having hairfall during application of oil and shampooing. I use coconut oil/Himalaya anti dandruff hair oil. Requill anti dandruff shampoo. And mamaearth hair conditioner.
