You have dandruff. And it looks severe from your complaints. Only a shampoo will not help. Dandruff could be because of a lot of reasons. A thorough examination of the scalp will help diagnose the problem. Plus, you might need prescription medicines . So visit a dermatologist near you. You will benefit the most if you do.
