First, you should stop using the offending shampoo. Contact dermatitis can be either an allergic or irritant condition. The cause may be a new shampoo, soap, hair dye, or hair product, moreso if it contains alcohol. If your symptoms continue your doctor may prescribe steroid medications. Occasionally, antibiotics are required if the irritated scalp becomes infected.
Can you elaborate more on the scaring part? If this is scaling, it could also be seborrheic dermatitis or also known as dandruff . Nizoral shampoo may help but it is also important that drying, moisturizing and limiting the use of soaps and shampoo can help prevent recurrence.
Take care and keep us posted.
