Hi, the way you had described your condition it looks like you are having a oily scalp and if you sweat a lot then the combination of oil and sweat might lead to foul smelling scalp. If you have dandruff too then things might get worse. you can go for a oily scalp shampoo for daily wash and a antidandruff shampoo once a week. this condition should be managed and maintained with good shampoos alone. avoid any oil application for the hair.
