Dear jonimurphy873
What u are suffering from is seborrhoeic dermatitis
You need to shampoo your hair twice week with a ketoconazole based shampoo
Also a topical antifungal need to be applied on the facial skin for a few weeks. A mild topical steroids during the initial few days will help resolve things faster.
Better consult a dermatologist to getaproper treatment regimen devised
