The condition you described is called Seborrheic dermatitis which is a rapid falling of epidermal layer of scalp (dead skin). Usually condition worsen in winters. Take tab ketaconazole 200mg daily for 2weeks and wash your hair with fungi tar shampoo twice a weekl for 1month
Let me know after 2weeks
