Good evening doctor.
I have experienced and oily patch on the crown of the head, and when I went to a doctor he said that the scalp is healthy, buy it is build ups. He told me to use Neutrogena clear and it worked well for me.
Now I need to use the normal shampoos again, which one will you suggest?
Thank you

Hi Shahd,
Thanks for writing to us.
You seem to be having seborrheic dermatitis of scalp.
I would advise to treat that oily patch over scalp, use a ketoconazole based antidandruff shampoo. Initially you should use it twice or thrice in a week and once control is achieved restrict its usage to once in a week. On rest of the days use a shampoo meant for oily scalp. Sunsilk, loreal, pantene, garnier are some brands having shampoo for oily scalp. You may take your pick.
Hope this helped.
Take care
