Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to dandruff caused by fungus. Using medicated shampoos will be helpful. Over the counter ketoconazole shampoo like nizoral or shampoo which is widely available every where like head and shoulders will be helpful also. If condition persist then approach a dermatologist for prescription shampoos.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
