Skin starts itching and then flaking!
Mostly visible back/side of my head under the hair, First it itches and then skin turns dark later it starts flaking. Family doctor suggested to avoid Eggplant and Kenaf(Gongura) and I use Lobate GM for temporary relief. Also now I see that over my shoulders. I daily take head shower and apply oil or shampoo every third or second day (yet I have dandruff) Looking for a permanent solution for the allergy and dandruff! Please advise Doctor! Thanks in Advance.
