So many painful pustules are also on my scalp I do oil massage every sundayand wash on mondays .my periods are irregular so can be due to hormonal imbalance nonprofits. Pls do suggest me the way to proceed with control. With regards leenadhawan.

Applying any kind of oil on the scalp can aggravate seborrheic dermatitis and result in folliculitis of the scalp (this is the reason for the pustules). If you have active pustules, you will need a course of antibiotics, which can be suggested only after consultation. I would advise to avoid any type of oil massage, esp thick oils like mustard oil. And especially avoid keeping the oil on the scalp overnight. If you absolutely need to use oil, use coconut oil. Apply it for 10 - 15 minutes and thoroughly wash it off with a suitable shampoo (preferably a prescription antidandruff shampoo)

Life vicissitudes, including illness, emotional trauma, protein deprivation (during strict dieting), and hormonal changes like those in pregnancy, puberty, and menopause may cause hair loss.
