Definitely do keep that dr. appointment, you may have psoriasis and you will need medication for it.
Sounds like those prescribed shampoos are really drying out your
scalp. That's one thing dandruff shampoos do, they have salicylic
acid in them which helps skin slough off, and is supposed to leave you
with a young, non flaking layer. Doesn't seem like that always
works though. Looks to me like you need more moisture in your
scalp.
If those shampoos really are making it worse, try using your old
regular shampoo, but dilute it 50/50 or more with water (use a small
bottle to mix it in, don't do your whole big bottle, just make up what
you need for each wash and roll it slowly to mix it, don't
shake). Shampoo is all highly concentrated and overdries your
scalp. Using it more dilute will still give good suds and clean
your scalp, but will cause your scalp to stop getting overdry and stop
making it overcompensate by producing too much oil. You still
need to go to the doc, in case it is psoriasis, but this is something
to try in the meantime.
