Patches due to flakes in hairs
I've patches due to flakes and dandruff. I am scratching on my head since 6-7 months and applying coconut oil regularly. When I shaved then I've seen those patches and flakes. Currently I am using Candid-B cream. Please suggest me what should I do and which cream I should use.
