Hi,
dry scalp is due to various etiologies (causes) you can use anti dandruff shampoo twice a week for one month and coal tar containing shampoo on alternate days for one month. For itching antihistamines non drowsy at day time and with sedation at night for 10 days. Apart from these a nice serum which can keep dryness away.
