Sir my scalp become full of white flakes every day . My scalp and hair both are dry . Also  flake appear on my belly, hands and legs specially where hairs are present.I also used medicated shampoo but that made my scalp dry after washing which lead to more tiny white flakes. Also my hand and legs became full of white flakes and stick to my clothes . Is it due to some deficiency or stress or any fungus ?
