Hello
As you mentioned that there is white flakes , redness ,dandruff , itching on the scalp .
When such patient visit my clinic , I advise them to take montilukast+fexofenadine combination ,once in a day for 10 days .
Tablet ketoconazole 200 mg once in a week .
Wash scalp with permethrine soap early in the morning .
While in the evening wash scalp with ketoconazole soap .
Since clotrimazole and beclomethasone are steroid ,so I never precribe this combination to may patient .
In my opinion you can take these medicine on a prescription.
Hope this will be useful for you.
I find this answer helpful
