Hi. Scalp flaking could be due to a few reasons (e.g. one cause could be psoriasis).With proper history a dermatologist near u can guide u after the pertinent history is given. Redness in left armpit can again b due to various reasons (e.g. erythrasma being one such cause) which needs to be gauged properly. Regards, Dr. Zubin Mandlewala MUMBAI
