Ideally no one should apply oil in scalp as this area already has a lot of oil glands in every hair. By applying oil you are clogging them and this inducing secondary infection. Stop hair oil or conditioner application and it may solve your problem forever.

You might be allergic to that oil ! That is in simple terms that oil doesn't suit to your skin . You can use alternate oils according to your scalp skin and issues.
