Probably: This is probably seborrheic dermatitis. Please see your dermatologist for evaluation and to discuss treatment options.

Scaly skin: You probably have eczema which is a very common condition that comes and goes. It's not dangerous and can be treated with cortisone creams twice a day. Start with an over the counter preparation. If that doesn't work, see your dermatologist.
