White flakes on scalp and body Parts
Dear Sir /Mam , I have white flakes on scalp and on beard and hands and legs specially where hairs are present .My hands and legs become white and flakes sticks to my  clothes. my hair are also falling due to this .I also used ketoconazole and Zinc pyrothine shampoo but I got relief from itching not flakes. Is it a skin condition ?
