Hi,
It seems to be seborrhoic dermatitis. I would recommend you to use ketoconazole shampoo twice weekly and apply cortisone lotion on the affected areas twice daily. Also, take anti-histaminic like tablet cetirizine 10 mg once daily at bedtime.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
