Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Seborrhoeic dermatitis or dandruff is actually due to a fungal infection. The dead skin is due to the same. Apply clotrimazole powder all over the body. Use ketoconazole shampoo. You may also use clotrimazole lotion topically. As such you can use Dove soap for scrubbing purpose. Apply aloe vera lotion or any other moisturizer all over the body. Hopefully that would help.
