Which Milk Is Good For Dry Scalp?

"Half a cup of milk and one-fourth cup of honey with a little olive oil applied on the scalp for 2 hours can work wonders for a dry scalp." Hi Doctor. This was posted in Facebook in February 4th in Beauty Tips page. May I know the milk is referring to Cow's milk or Powder milk? thanks!

Dermatologist,  's  Response

Hi, I have no knowledge about the use of milk, cow's milk or powder milk, to treat dry scalp. I indicate mineral oil or baby oil; apply it at night, then cover the head with a shower cap, then wash it off the next day; do this 2 times a week, until you see improvement. The use of shampoos with zinc pyrithione also helps. I hope I have helped you.
