Though examination would help better to look at the severity, anti dandruff shampoo with a contact period for 5-10mins, 2-3 times a week should help
Next Steps
Examination is mandatory

I advise you to consult a dermatologist online or in person, share clear pictures, and get a personalized treatment plan. Only after proper evaluation can the right medicines (creams/tablets) be prescribed
