You are having dandruff. It is not related to food. Dandruff is an itchy scaly scalp condition. The condition persists for long. Depending on your condition and severity, lotions and shampoos can be prescribed. The frequency of their application depends on severity, response and which phase of treatment ? clearance/maintenance you are in. Consult a dermatologist and be on regular follow up.
