Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might be suffering from seborrhea.
It usually affects the scalp and area behind ears.
Please apply a mild steroid shampoo like sebowash.
The content is flucinolone acetonide.
Apply this shampoo alternate day.
You will get good relief within a month.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
