Weird Patch on Skin

2026-03-29 14:08:47
There is a weird batch on the scalp on the back of my head, which my barber noticed today. I have been noticing that the skin on that particular area seems to be thicker and peels off sometimes like white crust like a big dandruff. I don’t feel any pain, Itching or burning sensation. What could it be and what is the treatment? Attached pics Medical history : 1. No BP 2. No Diabetes 3. No known allergy 4. Cervical Spondylitis 5. Anxiety
