hi,
thanks for using health care magic.
i think u might be having seborrheic dermatitis which commonly occurs in oily skin,stressed persons.
use antifungal and topical steroid creams.
if you have dandruff use shampoos with selinium or ketoconazole.

wash your hair ,face and ears regularly.
even after using of antifungals doesnt resolve your problem consult with your nearby dermatologist.
I find this answer helpful
