Hi,
It seems that you are suffering from Seborrheic Dermatitis commonly known as Dandruff and common causes for it can be fungal infection, genes, change in weather, poor hygiene conditions, poor immunity etc.
I would suggest you to consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and microscopic examination of the flakes can help in diagnosis and treated accordingly.
You can be advised to apply shampoo containing Ketoconazole, coal tar, salicylic acid, zinc, selenium, sulfides etc. You can also be advised to massage the scalp with steroid lotion.
You should also keep the scalp clean and avoid moisture accumulation to prevent infection. For dry skin you can use petroleum jelly and can do olive oil massage. Take Vitamin E capsule. Drink plenty of water.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
