History of dandruff with white flaky patches on forehead and inflammation around chest hair is often seen in seborrheic dermatitis involving seborrheic areas. Similar presentation can be seen in other conditions, so detailed evaluation is needed for confirmation.
In Homoeopathy, such chronic scalp and skin complaints are managed after proper case taking including duration of dandruff, aggravating factors, skin type and general health. Constitutional treatment often helps in such cases.
Next Steps
Advise to avoid scratching and avoid multiple hair oils or harsh anti-dandruff products till evaluation. Keep affected areas clean and dry.
Health Tips
You can consult me or any other Homoeopathic physician online or offline for detailed evaluation and individualized treatment plan. If you develop extensive redness, pain, pus discharge or fever, please seek care promptly.

Hello, thank you for sharing the photos along with the history. They were really helpful.
From the photos, the white flaky scaling along the hairline and forehead, together with dandruff and mild redness on the chest, fits best with seborrheic dermatitis. This is a very common, long-lasting inflammatory skin condition that appears in oil-rich areas such as the scalp, forehead, eyebrows, sides of the nose and centre of the chest. It tends to flare with stress, poor sleep, sweating, oily skin and weather changes, and it is not contagious. A few other conditions can look similar, such as a fungal infection of the skin, psoriasis, or folliculitis (inflamed hair follicles) on the chest, so a photo alone can't settle it. The pattern in his case is quite typical, and this condition usually settles well once the triggers and the skin are managed properly.
Next Steps
A video consult would let me look at the skin closely, ask about itching, how long it has been recurring, and what he has applied so far, and then plan a whole-person approach. Because the chest area looks inflamed, I'd like to be sure it is the same condition and not something that needs a different approach. Until then, I'd avoid applying random creams, steroid ointments or home remedies like lemon on the inflamed areas, since they can aggravate it. Please get it seen soon if the redness spreads quickly, there is oozing, pus or painful swelling, or fever.
Health Tips
- Wash the hair and scalp 3 to 4 times a week with a gentle shampoo, and rinse thoroughly
- Don't scratch or pick at the flakes, as this irritates the skin and spreads the inflammation
- Wash the face and chest gently once or twice a day, pat dry, and avoid harsh scrubs and soaps
- Wear loose cotton clothes, change out of sweaty clothes promptly, and wash towels and pillow covers often
- Avoid heavy oils and hair products on the scalp and hairline
- Cut down on sugar, fried food, excess dairy and alcohol, which can make flare-ups worse in some people
- Include fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds, and drink plenty of water
- Sleep 7 to 8 hours and make time to relax, as stress is a common trigger
- Take a photo every week in the same light to track progress
If you're worried, do book a consult and we can look at it together. Take care.

According to your query and the shared images, this is "seborrheic dermatitis".
Cause: Seborrheic dermatitis affects areas where sebaceous glands are more active, such as the scalp, forehead, and the central part of the chest. The main cause is the overgrowth and inflammatory reaction of the Malassezia fungus/yeast naturally present on the skin.
Although the symptoms of psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis can sometimes appear similar (due to the scaly skin seen in the pictures), scaling on these specific areas of the forehead and chest usually points towards seborrheic dermatitis.
Next Steps
for consultation contact me on practo.
Health Tips
Avoid harsh chemical products on the affected areas to prevent worsening skin irritation.
