Ive been dealing with a pretty bad dandruff issue, but its not just in my hairit's really stuck on my skin. Every time I shampoo, it seems to disappear, but once my hair dries, it comes back and I have to scratch it off. Sometimes it even leaves behind a liquid, and on occasion, theres a little bleeding. Im noticing this not just on my scalp, but also on my chest, eyebrows, and beard. Could you help me figure out what's going on? What can I do to treat this?
