Hi,
According to your complaints it seems to be seborrhoic dermatitis or psoriasis. I would recommend you to use ketoconazole salicylic acid shampoo every alternate day and apply Beclomethasone and Clotrimazole containing lotion on the affected areas.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
