Hair issue
I have oily scalp, due to which I am suffering from hair loss and greying of hair. During summer, sweat also adds up and makes my hair condition more worse. I need remedies or medicines to control sweat as well as oil secretion in the scalp.

• Oily scalp with sweating commonly points towards seborrheic tendency / scalp oil overactivity, which can indirectly contribute to hair fall
• Greying is usually genetic or nutritional, and not directly caused by oiliness alone
• Summer sweating can worsen scalp inflammation, dandruff-like scaling and follicle stress
Next Steps
• A scalp evaluation is advisable to check for dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis or early hair thinning patterns
• Basic blood work (like iron, B12, thyroid) may be considered if hair fall is significant
• Scalp-specific care plan can be tailored based on findings
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution
• Keep scalp clean with regular washing; avoid heavy oiling on an already oily scalp
• Avoid occlusive products and prolonged sweat retention (tight hairstyles/helmets)
• Early management helps prevent progression of hair fall and scalp imbalance
Kindly consult with me via Practo for detailed evaluation and treatment
