Greetings. You may be right . this may very well be due to yeast infection of the follicles. This is common in individuals who have an oily skin or scalp or even associated with dandruff. You'll need to use an antifungal shampoo / lotion. Kindly see a qualified dermatologist in your city for further evaluation and treatment/ prescription. Warm regards
