Answer by  safetyshield (46)

This skin related condition is one that most usually affects the scalp,face and torso being caused primarily by a yeast. Unfortunately,the treatments are either a RX drug with lots of side effects or homeopathic treatments,which are more difficult to comprise. This condition is not considered serious but does need to be maintained by the patient.
