Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You seem to have seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp. I suggest you to use a ketoconazole based shampoo, every alternate days. In addition I suggest you to apply a topical steroid lotion e.g mometasone furoate lotion, twice daily.
Regards, Dr. Kakkar S., Dermatologist
