A member asked:

Hi i've very dry hair, i want to relax my hair . i breast feed does it have side effect ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

dry hair: "dry hair" is a lay term for many possible diseases. Dryness does occur, but this should resolve if one does not was as frequently. But other problems, like seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis are often seen with this history. Bottom line? See a dermatologist.
