Scalp always itching. Never stops. Seem to be losing hair from it. Tried coal tar, and all dandruff shampoos but it always comes back.

Been struggling with a thick flaky scalp and I've tried everything from oils to home remedies like vinegar and tea tree oil but nothing seems to work. It itches when I sweat and anti dandruff shampoos don't help either. Any solutions?
