Suggest Remedy For Excessive Oil And White Sebum On Scalp
Hi, My scalp is producing excessive oils and white sebum which we usually see on nose. I feel the sense like it is causing blockage and feels uncomfortable and in time the buildup is increasing and causing irritation. I take shower every day, but its not removing the layer. Please assist me how to deal with it Regards

Hello,
You are having excessive oil & white sebum build up on your scalp. You are suggested not to touch, pick or scratch it. Prefer to take vegetarian diet over non vegetarian food. Take boiled food, avoid hot, spicy, oily food. Avoid taking any food that triggers your symptoms. Cut your hair short so that scalp management may be easier.
Clean your scalp with an antibacterial soap or ketoconazole soap. Shampoo your hair with medicated shampoo designed to treat the scalp and ease itching. You can use medicated shampoos containing pyrithione zinc, salicylic acid or selenium sulfide.
Shampoo containing ketoconazole is also very effected. Shampoo your hair regularly. You can take antihistamine at bed time, for 3-5 days to avoid scratching your scalp and to reduce the symptoms of allergy. Stay away from addictions, smoking, alcohol, drugs, etc.Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
