What could this scalp condition be?
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-Mid...
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.

I don't think it's normal dandruff because no amount of washing my hair will get rid of it, and neither will any anti-dandruff shampoos I have used (and I have used a lot). Also, I hope I don't have hair loss. I'm only 21.lol.

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.
