flaky scalp is a common problem...the treatment you are taking is alright...but problem is remission when the continuity of these medicine is lost...you may also try salicylic acid or coal tar containing lotions, it help to get rid of flakes soon...u have to do maintenance therapy after relief...flaky scalp has a tendency to cure with increasing age,,have patience
