I have a very flaky & itchy scalp. The dandruff becomes a major problem as it leads to small lumps on scalp. Would like to know of any shampoo or cream which can treat this.

You should first meet a good dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. Not only just Dandruff, there are several reasons for flakyness over scalp. However you can ketaconazole based shampoo for instant relief.
