Eddy:
First, stop scratchijg. hard, but necessary. Second, try an OTC dandruff shampoo like Neutrogena T-gel or 1% Nizoral. If that fails, ask a doc for some help. There are medicated lotions which do a very good job.
Best.

I had the same problem - solved by my hairdresser! It's apparently crystals of the silicone-based conditioner found in so-called "combined" shampoos. She advised not using such shampoos more than once a week at most. I haven't used them since - I now use seperate shampoo and conditioner. Hope this helps!
