Thanks for the query. Kindly get yourself a consultation with a Dermatologist. Many a times what is presumed to be just a dandruff issue could be Seborrheic dermatitis or Scalp psoriasis when the management changes.
Next Steps
Use antidandruff shampoos regularly and keep on the scalp for 5 minutes before rinsing. Meet a dermatologist.
