What you are describing might be a condition called seborrheic capitis or more commonly known as dandruff. Although accurate diagnosis will be possible only after detailed examination. Kindly consult your Dermatologist for the same. Regards, Dr.Shruti Jadhav Devershi, Sólskin Professional Dermacare, Kharadi, Pune.
