Use nizoral shampoo

Detailed Answer:
Hello ,
I read your query and here is my advice.

You may be having dandruff and using dandruff shampoo and conditioner may be helpful.
If it still doesn't work you may need to use antifungal shampoo because a fungal skin infection mat be the cause.
You may need to use nizoral shampoo (ketonazol )to wash your scalp.

Hope I have answered the question.
