Dust: Particles or perhaps dry scalp cells? Sometimes a milder shampoo with conditioner and also skipping one day in between in washing may help. If not recommend you see a dermatologist. Good luck!

I develop an itchy scalp every few days. It seems like dandruff - when I rub I can see small white things falling off. When I wash my hair with shampoo, I have to rub my scalp with a towel to get rid of the flakes. What could it be? In my ear as well?

Due to mental health problems, my hygiene has been bad for 2 years. I have a lot of buildup of thick, crusty dandruff on my scalp from lack of showers. It feels like my hair is thinning due to this. Is this reversible with treatment/shampoo?
