Hairfall for thin straight hair
I have thin straight and short hair. It gets oily too quickly (in a day after wash) . In this monsoon season,it feels always moist. Sometimes I get bumps on the scalp, found layer of white powdery substance on scalp after hair wash. I generally get quite less dandruff in winters. This white substance could be because of soap and chlorinated water. My hair is thinning, the partition is widening, and more scalp area is visible.

This could be Seborrheic dermatitis. It is a common skin condition that mainly affects your scalp. It causes scaly patches, red skin and stubborn dandruff. Seborrheic dermatitis can also affect oily areas of the body, such as the face, sides of the nose, eyebrows, ears, eyelids and chest. Seborrheic dermatitis generally can cause hair loss. However, excessive scratching can injure your hair follicles, resulting in some hair loss. Consult a Dermatologist for the same.
