A member asked:
On rubbing against my ears white skin scales come out and the same type of scales are there on my scalp causing hair loss is there a permanent cure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: You should see a dermatologist for treatment but there is probably no cure for what you have. Sometimes they can disappear on their own but it is nothing to do with the treatment.
