Hello, you can start using a shampoo containing ketoconazole and salicylic acid combination for your scalp. Additionally you may take an antihistamine tablet like Levocetirizine 5mg SOS to relieve the itching. A definite diagnosis will require a detailed history and examination /photos. So please get in touch with a Dermatologist for the same.
