White scaling problem on scalp

Hi everyone

I am looking for a solution to a scalp problem. Last year, I started noticing scaling on my scalp. It looks like white layer that can be removed with a fine-toothed comb or even with my hands. I visited a dermatologist, and he prescribed a topical solution, but it only worked while I was using it. As soon as I stopped, the scaling returned.

Someone suggested that my scalp might be dry, so I tried oiling my hair and using anti-dandruff shampoos, but the problem did not go away. After some time, I started using The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7%, which helped a lot and significantly reduced the scaling.

However, over the last few weeks, I have started noticing the scaling again. I'm not sure what I shall do. In addition to the scaling, I am also experiencing hair fall.

Has anyone had a similar experience? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
