From what you’ve said It’s more likely dandruff–there are a few other dermatological issues that could possibly attribute to this such as psoriasis (not likely it is, however). Depending on where your geographical region the winter months can be very bad on your skin and there are a number of OTC products that can help restore moisture to your scalp or skin–just ask your doctor or local pharmacy/pharmacist. Those products should resolve your problem or reduce them to a manageable level. Always see your doctor if you feel the issue could be more serious or if you can’t resolve it or have more questions. Take care. :-)
