Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You seem to have seborrheic dermatitis - itchy, scaly scalp. I suggest you to use a ketoconazole based shampoo, every alternate days. Regaine is minoxidil which itself can cause dryness/flaking and itchy scalp. If shampoo alone doesn't help, I suggest you to apply a topical steroid lotion e.g mometasone furoate 0.1 %lotion, every night for a few days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
