What you are describing might be anything from a seborrheic capitis to even psoriasis. A Dermatologist will treat you with shampoo suited to your condition. Till then try using a shampoo containing ketoconazole and salicylic acid. Regards, Dr.Shruti Jadhav Devershi, Sólskin professional Dermacare, Kharadi, Pune
