Dry fakes In scalp
White flakes have developed in my hair for some time. Initially I thought they were dead skin cells and would reduce with regular washing of my hair. So I started washing my hair on a daily basis. I even showed it to a dermatologist and he suggested I use protar-k shampoo. It's been 2 months since using it the white flakes are still there and have become scratchy.
