White Flaky Spot Behind Head, Comes Off Like Dandruff Flakes. Causes And Treatment?

Hello, Since the last month i have noticed a small white almost flaky spot on the rear part of my head...its not itchy...but it falls off like dandruff flakes when i try to remove it. I tried cleaning it with dettol for a week but it had no effect. Then my family physician advised me to use terbiforce ointment. It reduced for a while but now its back. Im not diabetic either. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
