A member asked:

What can i do to relieve really dry skin on my head/scalp?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Seborrheic Eczema: If you also have dandruff, it is possible that have seborrheic eczema which is a more inflammatory form. Daily use of an anti-dandruff shampoo (head and shoulders) will help to reduce the dry skin.
