Hi,

It seems that you are suffering from seborrheic dermatitis commonly known as dandruff and common causes for it can be:
- Fungal infection
- Oily skin
- Genes
- Change in weather or very dry weather
- Poor hygiene conditions
- Poor immunity etc.

I would suggest you consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
- You can be advised to apply shampoo containing Ketoconazole, coal tar, salicylic acid, zinc, selenium, sulfides etc. You can also be advised to massage the scalp with a steroid lotion.
- Keratolytic agent is like salicylic acid lotion can also be advised. You should also keep the scalp clean and avoid moisture accumulation to prevent infection.

Apply the shampoo every alternate day not daily. For improving hair growth, apply onion oil or onion juice over the scalp twice a week.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
