I'm a 21 year old college student who has been suffering with dandruff for as long as I can remember. As a child, I had pretty mild white dandruff flakes, but as I grew older and reached adulthood, I noticed a huge change in my dandruff. For the past five years or so, my dandruff appears to be stuck on my scalp. The flakes are brown when they fall off my scalp and collect mostly at my front hairline. I usually try to massage olive oil, shea butter, and/or tea tree oil on my scalp, because it's dry and that helps temporarily loosen up the flakes and get rid of them. But even when I do, my scalp appears inflamed.
My front hairline always appears white and contrasts with my skin color in an embarrassing way. I'm starting to wonder if this is a more serious skin condition like psoriasis, but it doesn't appear to be as extreme as most cases
