Scalp Dermatitis: You may have seborrheic dermatitis, aggravated by applying grease, pomades, or other occlusive agents. Using a shampoo that has tar for five minutes at least every five days should control it. If the condition persists, consult with a dermatologist. Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic condition.

I develop an itchy scalp every few days. It seems like dandruff - when I rub I can see small white things falling off. When I wash my hair with shampoo, I have to rub my scalp with a towel to get rid of the flakes. What could it be? In my ear as well?
