Hi,
From what your doctor has said, I presume you are having seborrheic dermatitis where one gets itchy skin lesions along with dryness over face( eye lids, nasal folds, eye brows, behind ears), chest, back, scalp etc
To treat seborrheic dermatitis, these can be followed
Use a mild cleanser and moisturiser like cetaphil
Take oral antiallergic like cetirizine to relieve the itch
Use a steroid antifungal combination for few days like hydrozole cream over areas of itching
I would advise you to take a consultation from a dermatologist , so that proper diagnosis based treatment can be started.
Take care
