What can i do for scalp drynes and irritated scalp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scalp dryness: You probably have seborrheic dermatitis. The best treatment for this condition is daily shampooing with a dandruff shampoo. If the problem is not improved with this alone, try Hydrocortisone 1% lotion, applied after each shampoo to a wet scalp.
