Dandruff clumping on my scalp
I have this concern of dandruff clumping together on my scalp. It hardens and when I touch it, it feels like a wound and if I scratch too hard, it comes off but that spot of my scalp bleeds a little. Also, I keep getting these clumps almost in the same places. I have had this problem for the last 4 years but it's turned acute in the last 3 months.

Dandruff can be treated with lotions and shampoo (not commercial ones). Some people do have more oily scalp which cause visible flakes which we call dandruff. There are some other conditions also which can present like flaking of the scalp and have to be ruled out. Do not apply oil on scalp as it will increase the problem. Please contact me with photos through online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment.,
