Dandruff and flaky scalp
My head is too itchy all the time and scalp skin keeps peeling off like flakes when I scratch. Even just after shampoo or a head massage, the condition is better just for a very small time. Even pulling my hair very lightly is painful and feels like the scalp skin is getting pulled off. I have tried regular shampoos and oil massages. I even visited a doctor who prescribed me Keraglo AD shampoo which did give some relief but not much effective. It started around 5-6 months ago. Please advise me on how to get it back to normal.

you need to get your scalp properly examined to know whether the excessive flaking is because of seborrheic dermatitis or an inflammatory condition like psoriasis. Kindly do not delay the treatment and get a consultation done with a qualified dermatologist how are you can get an online consultation privately with pictures if you wish. I practice in mumbai itself. You can meet me and get it properly assessed if you wish. A direct consultation would always be preferable to an online consultation.
