A. Dandruff is mostly because of dead skin over the scalp which can lead to itchy skin . It could be because of some pathological conditions too. Common causes are improper shampooing malnutrition fungal growth sensitivity to hair products sebborrhoic dermatitis . Proper care is requiredgh with medicated shampofo maintain a good hygiene and proper hydration . Consult a doctor for more severe condition .

A. For dryness in the scalp you can apply castor oil by mixing it into any other oil that you are generally using for the hair growth of the child and also sometimes the shampoo that we use may not be suiting I would suggest you temporarily shift to another shampoo like maybe Cetaphil or Himalaya and if still the situation is same then you can check with the dermatologist
