Hello Dear
I evaluated your query in depth .
@ This is inflammatory reaction of the scalp sweat glands , not necessarily
related with stress .
@ Best thing is to avoid all kinds of shampoo ( including tar ) , instead use
only Neem soap ( from ayurvedic or herbal outlet )
@ Avoid perspiration till possible , avoid exposure to excess heat
# Miconazole cream for local application is best
# Systemic molecules need has to be evaluated by physical examination
only .
# Avoid all types of dye / synthetic colors application to scalp
Hope this will help you definitely .
Feel free to ask any further health related question in future anytime .
