How Can Dryness On The Scalp Be Treated?

Hi, I am 29 year old, and suffering from flaky scalp ( Crown area only) and it looks different than dandruff because it gets flaky if I scratch my forehead else the scalp is plain. I am currently applying Hairs4u hair solution as siggested y doctor and taking Keraglo. Please suggest if this is OK or if there is anything I need to change.

Hello,
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
As per your description it seems that you are suffering from some kind of fungal infection over the scalp.
It is better to use antifungal shampoos instead of one you are currently using. You can use ketoconazole containing shampoos on alternate days. If symptoms are severe it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Wishing you good health
Regards
Dr Shinas
