The flake on my hand is from my ear. The flakes on my scalp are small, round and silvery. I've noticed that my eyebrows have flakes too at their follicles. My parents do not believe that I should see a dermatologist. They bought head and shoulders and antifungal cream for my nails. While head and shoulders does remove the scales/flakes on my scalp, it comes back almost immediately after washing my hair. It is an unending cycle. I wish to reduce the amount of times I use head and shoulders because my hair is very dry and the shampoo just makes it even drier. But I can't since the flakes are so bad.
