Please dont do home remedies. You may be having seborrhoeic dermatitis and doing all these procedures can irritate the scalp and cause further issues. Please send photos of the affected area for online consultation

Flaky scalp can be due to Dandruff. The condition is called Seborrhoeic dermatitis . Need to do a proper scalp analysis and find the cause . You will require some topical application and some treatment to manage it medically. Avoid applying henna or egg or even oil on the scalp till it gets better completely as such applications can aggravate the condition further . You can visit us at the clinic or do an online consultation with us for the same
