It could be psoriasis or a condition called seborrheic dermatitis. Both are chronic conditions but have different underlying causes and somewhat different treatments. You can start by using a salicylic acid-based wash and OTC hydrocortisone, and a salicylic acid or tar-based shampoo. If it does not improve, your dermatologist will be able to evaluate and offer prescription treatments to better control the condition.
