Hi ! You can shampoo everyday for sometime. Use a ketoconazole containing shampoo like scalpe. Allow the hair to dry completely. Keep the short. Carry an extra kerchief to wipe off the sweat.
Next Steps
See a  Dermatologist personally to get the hair and scalp checked
Health Tips
Avoid hair styling products till problem settles.
