Severe oily hair scaly itchy scalp
Hello,
I have been having dandruff issues, its not a sand like dandruff, its large, dry (sometimes oily) white/yellow flakes. Even if i wash hair completely, the flakes come back on the same day. It makes my scalp very itchy and my scalp as well as hair becomes excessively oily on the same day if hair wash. I have very oily skin too. This flaky itchy scalp is causing me excessive hairfall too. Please kindly suggest as to what to do.
Thank you
