Hello
Seasonal change and hormonal fluctuation can lead to such condition.
OTC anti dandruff shampoos do not work from root cause hence its advisable to seek for medical help.
Also details and photographs are required to see the exact lesions for differentiating other scalp conditions
Next Steps
Consult me via practo pro to get a detailed consultation and treatment plan
