Hi,
It may be seborrheic dermatitis in beard and scalp. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to apply mild steroid with salicylic acid lotion on the scalp and in beard. Do shampoo the beard and scalp daily by ketoconazole containing shampoo.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
