The Conversation —Dry scalp?
Flaky or dry scalp is an extremely common condition, but in severe cases it certainly doesn’t feel trivial.
Scabs may be unsightly, or itchy, but they’re performing the job they’re supposed to — keeping out bugs and allowing wounds to heal.
Fresh, healthy earwax tends to be yellow to honey-brown in color, whereas older, thicker earwax becomes darker brown, sometimes even black.
Blood, sweat and tears — and wax, skin and mucus — can cause many commonplace issues.
