What Does Yellow Patch Of Flaky Skin On Scalp Indicate?
Approx 2 sq distinctly yellow patch of flaky skin at front part of scalp. When I scrape it and it flakes off it reveals normal-colored scalp underneath. Just wondering what the cause might be?? I m 28, 5.10 , 130lbs, no allergies or illnesses that I am aware of. Nothing in my medical history.
