Scalp is usually greasy, i often observe dry blood flakes and dandruff whenever i scratch my scalp. it rarely burns. how do i treat it naturally?

Need good shampoo: I know of no "natural" treatment for what sounds like seborreic dermatitis. You need to try a daily dandruff shampoo such as selsen blue or head and shoulders. If that doesn't solve the problem, you should see a dermatologist.
