This is body’s reaction towards skin micro flora Malassezia furfur( fungus ), in which excess skin scaling takes place. In order to curb the symptoms antifungal and anti inflammatory medicines can be taken . There are shampoos containing zinc pyrithione would also be used to control the symptoms. Disease is sometimes moderate to severe which would lead to hair fall. Do connect for online consultation and further information.
