A member asked:

So i have white stuff in my hair, but they don't itch. i took a shower and still have them. whenever i'm in the sun my head itches, what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dandruff: You should shampoo your hair using a product that treats dandruff. Dryness of the scalp and hair causes itchiness. After shampooing, apply a hair conditioner according to instructions in order to restore needed oils to your hair and avoid itchiness.
