Seborrheic dermatiti: Whitish yellow dusty stuff with itching , scratching and bleed. Head ; shoulder makes it worse. There are other shampoos with different chemical ingredients like selsun blue, nizorol , tar shampoo. Please try one by one and see which one you like. Try three times a week first till you get control on it. If the problem still persists then see the dermatologist. Thank.
