Itchy scalp and dandruff
Hello doctor,
Recently I've been experiencing too much of itchyness on my scalp mostly at one place and there are dandruff flakes coming off when I scratch it too hard, there is no rash or burning sensation it's gettingtoo itchy especially when my head gets too oily and I don't wash my hair for more than two days. Please suggest. Thank you.
Based on your description the skin condition, it appears that you have Seborrheic dermatitis. Sometimes they co-exist with dandruff and can be determined with more precision during a consultation. A photograph will add in obtaining better recommendations. Kindly consult a dermatologist for exact diagnosis and treatment plan. It is also important to prevent their relapse once you have got it cured.
