Flaky Dry Scalp especially at front of head

[Dommy]

Hi, im having a problem with my scalp, i get really flaky dandruff especially at the front of my head at the top and along my hairline parting. I wash my hair twice a week shampoo then condition i used to use pantene shampoo and conditioner but that didnt make it an worse or any better so ive just started using t-gel therapeutic shampoo with coal-tar extract and then i condition with herbal essences and then i towel dry my hair, use tresemme heat protect spray and finish drying my hair by blow-drying on a hot heat then finish it with cool air. i dont use hair products like hair mousse or anything as i wear my hair down loose. The dandruff is not yellow just white and very flaky it itches only occasionally and gets aggrivated when i brush my hair. Is there anything i can do or not do to stop my scalp flaking so much???

Hi

This sounds like seborrheic dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis has been associated with fungal infections , weather, stress, and even food. I suggest that you frequently and vigorously scrub the affected areas. If the scalp is involved, frequent shampooing and vigorous shampooing will be able to help .For seborrheic dermatitis, this may be persistent and recurrent given the proper triggers. The frequency of shampooing seems to matter more than the type of product or medications used.
