Hello
This condition is known as seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp aka dandruff. It’s difficult to treat but can be controlled with medicated shampoos. Use sebowash shampoo 3 times per week over entire scalp. Also regularly wash your head and keep it sweat-free.
Health Tips
Avoid over night oil application.
