Usually dry itchy flaky skin anywhere on the body is eczema however a diagnosis from your health professional would be helpful. They may prescribe a mild cortisone topical cream which will help to clear up the problem. Changing your shampoo to one suitable for sensitive skin would probably help with the itchy scalp and with the facial dryness. Also, using a hypoallergenic moisturiser at least twice a day would also be beneficial.
