Dandruff, skin allergy
It's been 6 months since I came to Bangalore. My scalp became so dry that there is a white layer formed. And I have hairfall too because of that . Initially I thought it's dandruff and took a dandruff treatment in salon but ts not working. And I started getting skin allergies. What could that be? ..is it coz of the white thing on head, I am getting this skin problem?

Hi ! Thanks for your query.
Dandruff is a common occurence. It has a tendency to recur. You have to take continuous efforts to keep it at bay.
1. Shampoo hair as frequently as required. Keep the hair clean. 2. Avoid hair styling products till dandruff goes off. 3. Use anti dandruff shampoo which contains ketoconazole once or twice a week. 4.Oil clean washed hair. 5. Do not try to scrape or comb away the flakes. Be gentle with your hair and scalp. 6. Wash your combs and brushes regularly. Do not share them.
