Shampoo daily?x2: Start with washing your hair and scalp daily with shampoo, twice a day would be better. If after trying this for a month does not resolve the issue, it would time to see a doctor, especially a dermatologist.

Use head and shoulde: Try head and shoulder shampoo as it's likely fungal infection. If that doesn't work, Ketoconazole shampoo will do. Without seeing it, hard to guess what that is, consider seeing doctor

Tinea capitus: A number of scalp conditions could cause these symptoms. Tinea capitus is a fungal infection of the scalp which causes itching, scaling, crusting, pustules and occassionally infection with bacteria (kerion). Tinea capitus requires several weeks of oral antifungal medications with or without an antibacterial. Your doctor can help you determine if this is what you have.
