How Can Scabs On The Scalp Be Treated?
I have always had what looks like dandruff but with sometimes scaby places on my scalp. My daughter has the same thing and she went to a dermatologist who diagnosed her with some kind of psoriasis I think. Is there anything I can do like different shampoo to calm this down - it has gotten really bad in the last month.
