As per your case history you may be having either seborrheic dermatitis or allergic dermatitis. My treatment advice is: • Don't scratch the lesions as it may worsen the condition. • Stop applying hair oil at least for 2 weeks. • Apply an antifungal-steroid combination lotion like Candid-B twice daily on scalp and neck as well. • You can take antihistamine like Levocetirizine for itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Harshit Bhachech
