I've been dealing with scars for about five years now and recently saw an ad for this scar removal cream called Mederma. I'm 33 and curious if this cream would actually help get rid of my scars. Is it safe to use, or should I be cautious?

I've been having a really annoying issue with my scalp lately. It's super itchy and flaky, and there's a bunch of hair falling out. On top of that, it's like I'm getting these grainy, salt-like particles on my scalp that itch as well. It's honestly driving me nuts because my scalp feels dirty just a day after I wash it. I've been using Head & Shoulders but it's not helping. What could be going on with my scalp? Any advice on how to fix this?
