When seasons change & i get flakes from my scalp. mostly from the front & sides of hairline. doesn't itch, just embarrassing. why? how to stop it?

Danduff: Mild form of scalp seborrheic dermatitis. Try antifungal shampoos. OTC forms Like Selsun . Massage 5-10 ml of shampoo in wet scalp. Leave on scalp of 2-3 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Usually 2 applications each week for 2 weeks will provide control. After that once week every 3 to 4 weeks. If this treatment does not help contact your doctor for prescription shampoos.
