Dandruff/ fungus on scalp My husband
Hi, I would like to know if there is any treatment for the following.My husband is having a lot of itching on the scalp. I was not sure about what is there on the scalp whether it is fungus or dandruff. When touched, the white patch looks hard on the scalp.After repeated scratching blood appears. After few days the white patch becomes red in color. The new hair is being generated from the white patch itself.I am attaching pics to get more in detail.

Whether your husband had seborrheic dermatitis or scalp psoriasis will need proper examination of the whole scalp and other body areas including nails. You will need a prescription. It may go away but will definitely come back without treatment
