Oily and Itchy scalp

2021-10-31 03:43:30
Of late my scalp has become very itchy and gets oily within a day of washing.Since i use anti dandruff shampoo my dandruff is under control but its not completely gone. I am also taking hair supplements under merical supervision. I do have hairfall but thats not very severe. A few years back i was daignosed with PCOS which is however under control now. Anti histamines helped my itching but it comes back when i stop. I also feel my hair is gradually thinning. Can the itching and oiliness be due to hormonal changes?Will DHT blocking supplements help?
