A member asked:
My scalp is dry and flaky and the dryness is progressing beyond my scalp onto my forehead and bridge of my nose, what are some conditions this fits?

Mgt: You may have a contact dermatitis or seborrheic dermatitis. I would suggest using a shampoo without fragrance such as Dove. You can use a good moisturizer such as Eucerin several times per day, and avoid prolonged exposure to hot water. If no improvement, a visit with your doctor or uploading an image to Healthtap is advised.
