Hi,
You seem to bevsuffering from condition known as seborrheic dermatitis. It is characterised by itchy red scalp areas with greasy yellow white sticky flakes.
To treat the same
Use a ketoconazole and tar based shampoo every alternate day till dandruff subsides then use once in a week.:
Apply steroid salicylic acid lotion in night
Avoid oiling your scalp as it exacerbates dandruff
Hopefully with these steps your scalp condition would improve.
Take care
