Oily Hair, Itchy Scalp, Scaly. Remedy?
Thank you for responding. I am a 66 year old woman who is suddenly over the past couple of months suffering from oily hair. My scalp is extremely itchy and seems to become scaly. There is no sign of dandruff nor have I had any. My hair is semi-permanently died to my youthful colour and my hairdresser does not advise that I have any further perms at present. I have a lot of hair which is thick and fine. I so miss having the body of a bodywave. I look forward to your response and advice.
Kind regards

Hi itchy oily scalp can be due to several reasons. Themost common cause of oily scalp can be seborrhic dermatitis..use of coal tar and salcylic acid shampoo weekly twice and flucanazole 150 mg weekly once for 4 weeks and use isotretinion 10 mg daily for 2-3months along with nmf e lip care over the lips to prevent dryness of hair.
