Scalp flaking

2016-03-24 06:14:55
Hi I am having constant flaking in my scalp in spite of using medicated shampoos. Want to understand what can I do to avoid the flaking. I prefer to use a mild shampoo for everyday use. Also I have tried using SLS sodium laureth sulphate free shampoos. They don't seem to have any effect. Need some advice on how to get rid of this problem.
