Hi, my 10 year old has lots of dryness in hair in small lumps and it bleeds when she scratches. She does suffer from mild eczema on neck and arms only. I am thinking of buying her head and shoulders but need advice if it's really dandruff.we are considering haircut as she has long thick hair.

It could be but might also be caused by a fungal infection in which case you need Nizoral shampoo, 2% ketoconazole. I'm not sure if you can get that OTC as l have mine on prescription.
