Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Yeast may be there on scalp responsible for the disease. Stress is another factor. You may have greasy scales on the scalp and may be having itchiness and discomfort in scalp. Due to scratching, erosions might occur which ultimately lead to complication in the form of infection. So, perfect treatment is needed... I would suggest... -tab ketoconazole -tab folic acid - if needed, oral steroids in a tapering dose - if needed a course of antibiotic - apply steroid lotion like beclomethasone lotion on the scalp - shampoo daily with ketoconazole-containing shampoo - avoid stress - relax and avoid to scratch. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care. Regards, Dr Ilyas Patel MD, Dermatologist </s>
