Look, you might want to try picking up some salicylic acid lotion, but honestly, your first move should be seeing a doctor to get a professional diagnosis and a prescription. Don't go lounging out in the sun too much either, and don't think a trip to the beach is going to fix this if your scalp is already irritated—the salt water will just make it worse. Stick to something gentle, like Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo.
The salicylic acid worked for me too, though I had also totally wrecked my scalp by over-brushing. And for heaven's sake, when you wash your hair, stop scrubbing so hard with your fingernails! 🙂
