This looks like heavy dandruff, which is often a sign of seborrheic dermatitis or scalp dryness. It can worsen if ignored and sometimes leads to itching or hair fall.
A detailed history is required before suggesting any treatment.
Next Steps
Kindly book an online consultation with me for further evaluation and management
Health Tips
*Maintain good scalp hygiene and wash hair regularly
*Avoid scratching the scalp as it can worsen irritation
Stress, irregular sleep, and oily scalp can make dandruff worse — keeping these under control helps in long-term management.
