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?

I've been using Glyco 6 for a few weeks now to help with my acne, as my dermatologist recommended. But I've noticed that my skin tone seems to be getting duller. I'm confused if this is an effect of the Glyco 6 or something else. I make sure to use sun protection when I'm outside, so I'm not sure what's happening. Could the Glyco 6 be causing this or should I be looking into other factors?
