It is quite likely that you have seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp. If you can't control the condition with daily cleansing with a gentle soap and shampoo, you should consult a dermatologist for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment as well as follow-up care.

I have a rash that started on my neck and has spread to my back. It is NOT red. It is itchy and bumpy and has what looks like white heads inbetween. I used a hair growth shampoo. Could this be the cause? My scalp is not itchy at all

I develop an itchy scalp every few days. It seems like dandruff - when I rub I can see small white things falling off. When I wash my hair with shampoo, I have to rub my scalp with a towel to get rid of the flakes. What could it be? In my ear as well?

Dandruff and dry skin I have patches of dry itchy skin on my scalp and hair-line. I also have a few patches of red itchy skin near my eyes and eyebrows. Any idea what would be the cause of this and any solutions would be great too.
