If too much of dryness and pimples are there you need to avoid using oil that frequently it can further trigger blockage of pores and further pustules and irritation. Regularly can use medicated anti fungal shampoo
And for dryness of hairs and frizzyness can use conditioner or hair moisturisers
Next Steps
Consult for proper treatment and care
