Hello Gertie 
Have your tried a 50/50 mix of Olive and Peanut Oil. rub it on your scalp before bed, wrap your head in cling film, then wash out in the morning using a comb. It may make your hair greasy for a bit but it will help release the flakes and sooth your scalp.
Another option would be Coconut Oil. you can get it from ethnic shops, don't confuse it with Coconut Milk. you need the oil.
Maybe worth a go it certainly wont hurt.
