Hi, I have patches of dry skin that peels off and itches every day or every other day. Something similar happens in my ears and inside my nose. I have been trying to find something that stops it but haven t found anything. I use dandruff medicated shampoos and they haven t helped with the scalp.
Hello, Thanks for the query, You might have developed fungal infection. Your description matches with that. Usually fungal infections are itchy and recurrent. Please get a KOH mount done, This can confirm the fungal etiology. Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical antifungals. Treatment must be continued for at least a month to prevent recurrance. Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
