A member asked:

Got flakes on my scalp, eyebrows, and nose, do i have eczema or scalp dermatitis or what?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Seborrheic: You have something called seborrheic dermatitis. Sometimes this can be due to fungal infection as well. Treatments include daily anti-fungal shampoo and sometimes steroid cream as well. For the latter, please consult with your doctor first.
