For the rashes:
Apply Calamine lotion on the rashes
or you can also use Elovera lotion(aloe vera)
If the rashes are recurring make sure you are not allergic to any type of food.
Make a note of when you get rashes.

Use soap free body wash for bathing.

For dandruff: If Selsun shampoo didn't work for you then use Himalayas Gentle soap free shampoo and

follow these habits:
Don't wash your hair too much.
Avoid dust, wear cap if you travel a lot.
Drink plenty of water, avoid dehydration.
Wash your hair only once a week or maybe twice a week, not more than that.
And before you wah your hair apply oil half an hour washing.

I hope this works
