Hi doctors. what is the best treatment or i would guess possibly shampoo for dry scalp....not so much dandruff per se, more so dry scalp? thank you ?

Depends: If it is simply dry scalp there are many over the counter shampoos formulated for this problem. If you have an underlying condition like eczema, seborrhea or a fungal infection involving the scalp it will take an in person evaluation to decide a proper diagnosis & treatment.
