The condition that you are describing sounds like seborrheic dermatitis. However it could also be a manifestation of scalp psoriasis. Examination would be needed to ascertain the cause accurately. In winters this condition tends to get worse and treatment would need to be continued for a while it is better that you meet the doctor and follow-up as advised to get effective results. Hope this is helpful.
