hi there...

I read your query and understand your concerns...

I want to know if your scalp is itchy too? and do you have dandruff??

it seems you have fungal infection of scalp... for this antifungal agent containing shampoos for mild cases... in severe cases systemic medications may require... you should consult any skin and hair specialist...

further keep your scalp clean wash hairs every other day... dont tie your hairs when wet let them dry...

hope it helps... regards..
