36 Weeks Pregnant, Greasy And Tender At Roots Of Hair, Having Pain, Headache. What Could Be This? Treatment?
Hi!
I am 25 years old and currently 36 weeks pregnant (but that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with this issue.) Yesterday I noticed that the roots of the hair at the crown of my head were very greasy and tender. I washed my hair without using conditioner because I assumed it was simply a regular case of oily hair possibly because i hadn't rinsed the conditioner out properly the night before. However this didn't change the situation at all and today my hair was soo sensitive that I got headaches from the pain in my scalp. I tried washing it again tonight with a different shampoo but it hasn't helped. What does this come from and how can I get rid of the problem? Thanks!!

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
In fact it is related to pregnancy.
In pregnancy the sebaceous glands become active and hence produce lot of secretion.
This secretion causes your scalp feel greasy.
Use sebowash shampoo, It will give you relief.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
