Dear Patient , Please consult a dermatologist near you so that your scalp can be examined and a definitive diagnosis could be made . From your description it could be a condition called scalp psoriasis / sebopsoriasis and hence visiting the doctor in person would do good !
Next Steps
Please avoid using Home remedies as it could aggravate your condition !
