Hello,

As per your history, it may be due to fungal infection or dandruff.

For that you can apply clotrimazole ointment locally.

You may require tablet Fluconazole after consultation.

Wash your hair regularly.

Avoid harsh cosmetic products.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
