What could this scalp condition be?

Question

I always have white flakes in my hair, and my scalp almost always constantly itches and it hurts sometimes. I took a photo to demonstrate. It's here: http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q145/Gothic-Midnight-Rose/DSCF3985.jpg

If you look very carefully there are some red like patches to the left. I was thinking it may be scalp psoriasis? But I'm not sure. My hair is falling out a lot too - way more than the normal amount of hair.

I would really appreciate your input.

Thanks.

Lady M - I did lots of searching online. First good chance u got Psoriasis but like everyone said you might want to see the doctor first.

First site was web md 

Second was another help forum about it. They all experiencing hair loss with Psoriasis. 

Hope this helps you.

It's most likely dandruff. Just start usin a dandruff shampoo like head & shoulders or selsum blue.
The red patches are probably from you scratching it or just a sensitive head.
Your hair is either falling out with old age or you're not treating your hair well.

Hmm it sorta of looks like  Psoriasis. Nothing serious..just extremely itchy,dry, flaky skin. My brother has it and we have medication to put on it and we also put oil on the very dry parts...try not to scratch...it will only get worse..hence the redness. Here are some links.

I say look into either Eczema or Psoriasis. Consult a dermatologist ASAP since it's falling out.
