You can use Salisia KT lotion as shampoo for now. and apply Halox lotion morning and at night. But you need to get your scalp properly examined to know whether the excessive itching/flaking is because of seborrheic dermatitis or an inflammatory condition like psoriasis. Kindly do not delay the treatment and get a consultation done with a qualified dermatologist how are you can get an online consultation privately with pictures if you wish. Hope this is helpful.
