Sebhorric dermatitis
On a particular area of the scalp I get patchy scales, which becomes completely white and looks like dandruff. I am not sure if I am suffering from sebhorric dermatitis or psoriasis or any other skin condition. A doctor suggested me to use Keraglo AD shampoo and candid b lotion. I have used to quite a lot but not able to see much benefit. Also, I have completely stopped using oil. Could you please help me to resolve if I am suffering from psoriasis or sebhorric dermatitis or any other skin condition? Also can I start to use oil?

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.
