Hi Tousif,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
From your description provided, it appears that you are having 'seborrhic dermatitis' of scalp.
Kindly do the following:
1. Use Ketoconazole shampoo every alternate day.
2. Use shampoo containing coal tar, salicylic acid, selenium and zinc once in 3 days.
Your symptoms should start improving in a couple of weeks.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
