How To Get Rid Of White Flakes And Itchiness On Scalp?
Hi, I used to have severe itching on my scalp, white flakes and greasy hair, 2-3 days after a shower which obviously used to be relieved when I took a shower. Now, I can t stop itching even after a shower and the white flakes are still there in my hair and on my scalp. I have used ketocinazole before but it caused hair loss and currently I m using sunsilk antidandruff or garnier. I have very dry hair so I apply coconut oil and keep it on for a day before taking a shower. Please give me a remedy to control the itching which is causing the the white flakes to form! Is this dandruff?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, allergic condition is very likely and this can be well treated with "Tab Levocetirizine 10 mg" three times in day, if this fails to responds then try "Povidone Iodine" shampoo, this would clear the symptoms, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
