Hi.. skin flakes on the scalp are seborrhea. It is a type of fungal infection of the scalp. It will require medicated shampoo to be used for 6 weeks at least. This will require a prescription and I suggest you consult a pediatric dermatologist for this. Avoid using hair oil for the scalp of the kid.
