Greetings. This may be SEBORRHOIEC DERMATITIS OR DANDRUFF of the skin surfaces- which is a chronic problem. Please note. Avoid using oils on scalp / body. This acts as food for fungus causing the dandruff. Secondly wash hair with antifungal / low strength corticosteroid based shampoos. Use maintenance shampoos regularly. You may need a course of oral antifungals if your condition is severe. For chest and back - can apply creams (mild TCS +anitfungal ) on prescription for 10 days to 2 weeks. See a qualified dermatologist near you. Hope this helps. Warm regards Dr Govind S Mittal. Excel care hospital, Bangalore.
