Could be sebhorreic dermatitis in which case there are a host of different suggestions and treatments. You can read up on the condition on this site and also explore different treatment options. If it is this condition -it can be a bit challenging to treat - especially in the winter. If in doubt, I'd suggest a dermatologist take a look and you'll also then be able to make sure it isn't something else.

Thank you for your input
