Scalp allergy with hair system.
I've been using a hair system for a 5 months now , since last week I'm having some rash like marks on the scalp and a sticky liquid leaking from it.
To be noted- the hair system or wig I suppose uses an adhesive to stick on the scalp , apart from accumulating sweat underneath.
I visited a dermatologist for the same and I was asked to take Cipla 8x shampoo but even after 2 washes this issue keeps repeating.
Is there any specific doctor or remedy I need
for this ?
Added photos of my scalp.
Thank you in advance.

You might be having an allergic reaction to the glue that you are applying. You can try eliminating wearing the patch and see if it improves . Medicines can also be taken to reduced the symptoms faster. Kindly consult online for it
