White layer on scalp, hair thinning

2021-09-26 10:09:32
I'm experiencing that a white layer of dandruff is being formed on scalp and I also feel like my hair is thinning especially when I touch my hair on the center. Am I going towards baldness, I'm worried. Anyone please guide me what should I do further.
