Due to mental health problems, my hygiene has been bad for 2 years. i have a lot of buildup of thick, crusty dandruff on my scalp from lack of showers. it feels like my hair is thinning due to this. is this reversible with treatment/shampoo?

Yes, normal cleanliness should help slow restoration. Good Luck

Go to your local pharmacy and pick up OTC shampoo for psoriasis and wash hair to start at least 3 times at one sitting. Than read directions for future washes. Your other hygiene problems should be addressed.
