Thanks for your question. In my opinion you are suffering from extensive seborrhoeic dermatitis. It's a fungal infection.
Use ketoconazole based shampoo daily for one week, then twice weekly for next 15 days, after that once weekly for one month
On the neck you can apply over the counter antifungal cream for a week.
I hope this helps. If you have any further questions I will be happy to answer. Wish you good health. Have a nice day.
