Hi,
It seems that there might be having some scalp infection like fungal infection, dermatitis or dandruff giving this problem.
Consult dermatologist and get examined.
After proper diagnosis plan of treatment can be decided.
Using any kind of brand shampoo or soap is not going to help without proper diagnosis.
Go for regular hair bath.
Ok and take care.
