What does it mean when your head itches and you don't have lice/dry scalp or dandruff?

Dry skin on head for over 10yrs. Head itches & gets worse if hair is wet. Anti dandruff shampoo works 50%. Within 3 days, head starts smelling bad. Oily hair. Ears permanently flaky/skin visible.

My scalp has been itching and when i scratch it, thick white stuff comes off. Could this be severe dandruff? Been using head/shoulders for a week.
