Hello
Welcome to healthcare magic forum.
Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem.
It look like you have some fungal or bacterial infection.
You need to consult dermatologist.
You should apply lotion with antibiotic.
Use shampoo with ketoconzole twice a week.
For itching you can take antihistaminic medicine.
You need to keep your scalp clean and dry.
I hope I answered your question.
Let me know if you have any further query.
Regards
