Experiencing red dots on scalp
Hello, I am currently based in New York. I have started to experience dandruff all of a sudden as it started to get colder. The flakes are getting bigger and i thought in order to treat the dry scalp better i would shave my head. But i am still experiencing flakes on my head.
Suggestions ?
