A member asked:
What to do if i have a very persistent dandruff, so itchy that i scratch it til it bleeds help!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: Your doctor can help. You may need a prescription shampoo, cream or pills. Some for the persistent fungus, some for the itching and some for your over response to the itching. This is the way the body talks to you. A small problem can bring out that you may be over anxious and gives you insight to your own responses. Review with your doctor if you have obsessive or compulsive tendencies (ocd).
