What Causes Flaky Skin On The Scalp Along With Hair Loss?
Hi doctor! I suffer from a hairfall problem. My age is 19. I can see that after I wash my hair, in a day, when I scratch my scalp, I can see it flaking. Is it dandruff or dry scalp!? I wash my hair once in two days. How often should I wash it? Is it a condition of my scalp or any deficiency?

Hello,
Superficial fungal infection is a possibility. Consult a dermatologist and get evaluated. As a first-line management you can apply topical antifungals like clotrimazole for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
