Hi,
This is probably seborrheic dermatitis. Its caused due to an oily scalp and fungal infection. Medicated shampoos are available and can help reduce the itching. It available over the counter in most countries. Antifungal shampoos will help. Meanwhile you need to keep the scalp clean and avoid oily foods and drink plenty of water.
