Hi,
It may be exacerbated dandruff. The flakes may be thickened. It may be called pityriasis amiantacea. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. A course of antibiotic, anti-histamines and anti-fungal may be considered. Apply Dipsalic lotion on the affected areas. Do shampoo with shampoo containing Ketoconazole.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
