There is a white flakes falling of my hair whenever I scratch my hair using comb
Whenever I scratch my hair using the comb, there a lot of white flakes falling off the hair. I have been facing this problems for years till I shaved my hear from time to time. That still didn’t resolved the problems. Besides, multiple anti-dandruff shampoo such as Alpecin and Selsun also didn’t resolve the issue. I tried oily hair shampoo and dry hair shampoo. Both still didnt resolve the problems. What actually cause of this problem and what should I do?

Greetings! Thank you for your questions.
First and foremost, we truly understand your concerns regarding your symptoms. Based on your complaints that you have tried multiple anti-dandruff shampoos but still did not help to solve this problem, you are suggested to see a doctor. Other than dandruff, flaky and itchy scalp may caused by problems, such as:
- irritated and oily skin - seborrheic dermatitis (a more severe form of dandruff)
- skin cells accumulate and create flakes and itching because not shampooing enough
- yeast called malassezia
- contact dermatitis because of personal care products, which makes your scalp red and itchy
Get that perfect skin with the right skin care.
In order for us to provide you with an accurate choice of treatment and management, we need additional details to explore the true culprit of your symptoms. Therefore, we greatly suggest that you refer this to your nearest medical doctor for full examination. You may also click on this link (DoctorOnCall) to speak with our doctors online.
