Your problem seems to be that of sebbhoric dermatitis. Do u get dandruff also? I would suggest a medicated shampoo along with some topical ointmemts. This is not a serious condition and can easily be dealt with.
Next Steps
use medicated shampoo twice a week minimum
Health Tips
avoid hair oil, do not do vigorous combing
