Dandruff: Sounds like you have seborrheic dermatitis, otherwise known as dandruff. You'll need to start a regular routine of washing with an anti-dandruff shampoo to cut down on the quantity of yeast that has overgrown on your scalp. We all are colonized with that yeast -- but if they overgrow, they cause itching and flakes.
