Hi, I am 22 y/o f, I have itchy scalp which is scaly, dry with white patch. It is aggravated with sweat. I feel good after itching and bathing. It may be dandruff but I am afraid that it must be some other skin disease. Kindly advise medication, diet and regimen, etc. Thank you.

There are various reasons for itchy scalp other than dandruff. Doctor has to look at the lesions to prescribe. Kindly consult a dermatologist online or offline. You can try ketoconazole zinc pyrithione shampoo don't oil your scalp wash hair twice a week. It would be better to consult once to rule out other diseases of scalp.
