Hey forum - I've loved reading through this forum!
I used to have my hair fairly long, recently I have completely shaved my head (:D). I have done this 3 times now. It is actually quite addictive. I hope to grow it long once again however.
Anyway, so I have suffered from an itchy scalp (i.e. dandruff) for years now. I have just managed the situation and never really tackled it fully. I always remember my scalp being itchy, particularly in the summer. So when I did get my head shaved the barber said it looked 'red in patches'. I have had a few people have a look, some have described it as a rash, someone said it looks like psoriasis. I have taken photos myself and was quite surprised with how many 'faded spots' I have. I do not have this on any other area of my body, I do not have eczema or particularly dry skin. My doctor has said my pores are clogged and that this leads to an overproduction of sebum, and this causes dandruff i.e. its a vicious circle.
I thought you guys might be able to shed more light on the issue. Please see photos below.
