Hello Sir, Since 4 months some dead skin is coming as white flakes from my head.It s too much itching and felt like burning some times in the places from where that skin is coming out.Earlier I have consulted doctor, he given some medicines and head shampoo but that doesn t helped me to get rid of this disease..Feeling very irritation because of this.Kindly guide me and do needfull
I would keep a possibility of dandruff/seborrheic dermatitis.
In my practice I usually ask my patients of dandruff/seborrheic dermatitis to use a Ketoconazole shampoo thrice weekly for 2 weeks and once the dandruff is under control, it can be used twice or once weekly for maintenance.
If not controlled by even ketoconazole, then it is advisable to visit a dermatologist because scalp psoriasis can present as dandruff. Coal tar based shampoo, Steroid lotions etc can be used in unresponsive patients of dandruff under the supervision of a dermatologist
take care regards
