Greasy hair only on crown

Question

Asked for Female, 38 Years

Hi, I am getting treatment from Dr. Health for hair fall. But when I was trying to explain the doctor about greasy stringy hair only on the crown and back of the head, he doesn't seem to understand. As of now using Dove intense repair shampoo as recommended by him but I feel even that is causing more greasyness. When I browsed through looks like seborrheic dermatitis. Could it be that? I am on Autrin as suggested by doc and on homeopathic medicines given by same doc. But quite tensed now that it has actually worsened the problem rather than reducing! Please advise whom to approach and what are the root causes. Rest of the scalp looks fine except the backside which gives a ugly feeling if I touch or comb.
