Seborrhea: Seborrheic dermatitis was the cause of your dandruff and is likely leading to the odor from your scalp. Try leaving on your dandruff shampoo for 10 minutes before washing off. Also, see your dermatologist as you may need a prescription topical steroid to calm the inflammation in the scalp.
