Sat Sri Akal Pehnji,

I'm a medical student and what you are describing seems like it could be psoriasis or a fungal infection. Psoriasis will causes a lot of itching and constant dandruff or scaling of the scalp. Typically a fungal infection won't cover the whole scalp, so its more likely to be psoriasis.

Neutrogena T-Sal shampoo and Olux Foam (prescription) will do the trick if it's psoriasis. Feel free to PM me.

GurFateh Jee,

my doctor said it isn't psoriasis. My mom has psoriasis on her scalp and psoriasis looks different. Psoriasis looks like you got a big ulcer on your scalp mine doesn't look like that. In fact my scalp is totally white with dandruff :lol:

I was in India four month's ago and went to see a dermatologist. He said it was an infection and told me to use different products but it didn't help So I'm kinda lost right now.

I went to see the dermatologist today and I'm really frustrated because she was extremely dismissive of me and my scalp problem. She kept insisting on the fact that it's "just dandruff" and nothing else. She gave me a steroid-cream (called Betnovat) and told me to use it for a month.

.

Will keep you updated and thanks for your help all of you :lol:

i think u need to keep ur scalp moist all the time, trust me try oil.

Big Tera,

I've been washing my hair everyday for the last 2 weeks and nothing has changed. The dandruff, the itching and the hair loss is still the same :lol:

The dandruff I have is concentrated on my scalp and never really falls out of my hair like you see on the dandruff commercials (Head & Shoulders commercials). My dandruff makes my scalp look very very dry.

I'm going to see the dermatologist in 2 weeks to be tested for eczema.

I washed my hair with yogurt, it didn't help with my above mentioned problems but it made my hair very soft. So for those of you out there who have dry hair I would recommend washing your hair with yogurt.

G.Kaur, further advice i would suggest that you make sure you are rinsing your hair thoroughly after shamppoing. i think women probably suffer from the condition of dandruff more. becuase they have very long hair.

also if your wearing a Keshki. that could be making your problem worse. its obviously worn for religious reasons, but if its affecting your hair condition its understandble not to wear it. sorrry if i have offended anyone. when you cover your scalp with a cap or fabric in your case it makes the hair more oily ie the sebum. the dandruff feeds on that oil. so you get white patches and your scalp becomes itchy. maybe you should not wear it for a while to see if it gets better.

i know after wearing a bandana/cap my hair would get alot more greasy and oily which in turn would make my hair itch alot and i would get more dandruff.

i wouldnt suggest putting oil in your hair. if your scalp/hair is anything like mine it will just make your hair more oily and itch more. which is what happened to me when i used oil.

hope that helped.
