Hi Sweetpea! The only thing that clears my scalp is Cocois or Sebco ointment. They're the same thing, just different brand names. It's a smelly, greasy coconut oil compound that you slather on and leave for a while (it says an hour but I usually leave for 4+ or overnight if I have time to wash it out in the morning). As you have a shaved head it should be a lot easier to get rid of this stuff - I have to wash my shoulder length hair 4 or 5 times to get it all out.
BUT it lifts the scales so easily and which will leave your skin looking red and sore, but I swear it'll be a lot more comfortable and not as tight and flakey. Once you remove the scales, try a steroid cream or fluid from the doctors. The scale free skin should react to treatments a lot faster. You might need to use this combo for a month or so but it does work for me. I wish I had the option of shaving my head, it is the one thing I haven't tried but I just can't do it!
Good luck!
