Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Your child is most probably suffering from a scalp dermatitis or eczema which can be related to her colds as in case of atopic dermatitis or a result of nutritional deficiencies which can affect her overall health.
The best way to confirm would be to get her evaluated by your doctor who can start prescription medications ( anti allergens, emollients , antibiotics if needed )appropriately .
Meanwhile make sure her scalp is not exposed to sun and extreme dry conditions .give her a nutritious diet rich in vitamin c , zinc. And proteins or a prescription multivitamin daily.
Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
Regards
