Q. What can cause waxy buildup on the roots of hair?
Hello doctor, I am an 18 year old female. For the past two years, I have had this waxy buildup only on the roots of my hair. It feels sticky, oily and stiff. None of the shampoo I have tried has fixed it. The problem goes away a couple of days after I dye my roots. I am wondering if there may be a problem with my scalp. Please help.
Hi. I have seen your query and concern. Oily skin and excess sebum secretion. 1. Seborrheic capitis. 2. Tinea capitis. Seborrheic capitis. I would suggest you Sebowash (Fluocinolone) shampoo twice weekly. It has to be applied on scalp and left for 15 minutes before you wash. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the treatment with consent. You should not apply hair oil. You can use conditioner and shampooing regularly rest of the day. Revert back after a month to a dermatologist online.--->
