What can i do about my red, raw and flakey scalp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a dermatologist: Consider over the counter anti-dandruff shampoos such as head&shoulders, selsun, or t-gel. Must let these stay on scalp for several minutes prior to rinsing. If not helping, then would see a dermatologist for prescription treatment options.
