What To Do For White Pieces Like Egg Shells Fall From Hair And Body?
I have not done the spit test but you can tell I have obviously been studying. I have all the symptoms including white pieces that look like broken egg shells fall from my hair and body. I go to bed exhausted and get up exhausted,etc. It has ruined my life and I need to get rid of it. Any help will be appreciated.

Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
Presence of white pieces over the scalp indicates that either you are dealing with dandruff or scalp infestation due to parasites. Since treatment of them needs prescription medications I feel you need to see a dermatologist in your city.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
