Brief Answer:
Anti dandruff shampoo

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

You may use a ketoconazole based shampoo e.g Nizoral shampoo or selenium sulphide based shampoo e.g Selsun. Shampoo daily or on every alternate days. Lather it well on wet scalp and allow it to act for 5 minutes before rinsing it off.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance
