These symptoms are often linked to common, highly treatable conditions like fungal infections or seborrheic dermatitis. For your scalp, try over-the-counter medicated shampoos containing active ingredients like ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or coal tar. For the skin patches, over-the-counter antifungal creams containing clotrimazole or miconazole can help, while a mild hydrocortisone cream can relieve itching. Avoid scratching to prevent infection. Since a correct diagnosis is key to targeted treatment, please consult a dermatologist or healthcare provider to examine the patches and recommend the best plan for you.
