It is either seborrhoeic dermatitis or an overgrowth of a harmless yeast, Malassezia.

T-gel or Nizoral shampoo. I have been suffering sinc January and nothing is touching mine but the doctor has taken scrapings to see if its something else.

Thank you. Have tried antibiotics ( diagnosis follicalitus )and (eucorax?) cream ( diagnosis dermatitis). Nothing is helping

I'm so sorry about that. I dear mine is the same. It is not fungal but they didn't have enough scrapings to check for other issues.
