What Causes Oiliness Of Scalp?

This is very strange situation to me. In the center top of my head/scalp is extremely wet with oil like grease. My hair and scalp is very healthy / bouncy and now suddenly this occurred. Tell me the cause and cure. I did shampoo lot of times but seems the grease is continuously excreting from y scalp???? I am very worried.

Hi,

It may be seborrheic dermatitis most probably. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Stress, worries and mental upsets might exacerbate the disease. I would recommend you to apply mild steroid lotion on the scalp. And do the shampoo daily with ketoconazole-containing shampoo. Take a course of antibiotic for a week to clear secondary infection. Take fluconazole tablet. Relax and avoid worries.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
