Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
You seem to be suffering from seborrheic dermatitis.
Use a ketoconazole salicylic acid/ tar based shampoo to wash hair every alternate day. Keep it over scalp atleast for five minutes then wash off.
Apply a steroid antifungal lotion over scalp as well your affected body areas.
Use a mild soap and moisturiser.

Hope this helped.
Take care
