Itchy scalp
The front part of my scalp, above forehead is being itching a lot since 2-3 days and it's started to pain now. I can accumulate small white bits under my fingernails when I scratch softly. Am a bit worried , I do have normal hair and skin texture. This kind has happened to me for the first time. What can I do to fix it ?
