Solution to an oily scalp? I also having a diffusive thinning hair problem, are they related?

Oily skin is not related to diffuse thinning of hair.  If you have hair loss or having oily skin/scalp issues see a doctor for an examination to find possible causes and treatment options.

If you have thinning hair you really need an evaluation to see if it is genetic or from another cause like stress or autoimmune. If it is determined to be genetic there are many options and traditional treatments like rogaine foam and propecia pills can be used. I have great success in my practice using injectable progesterone and PRP to the scalp.  I suggest seeing a dermatologist with expertise in hair loss. Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear Abraham93357,You may wish to see a dermatologist for careful review of exactly what is causing your oily scalp. A number of possibilities exist although the most likely causes areseborrheic dermatitispityriasis capitis (dandruff)Usually these don't contribute much to hair loss themselves but are often seen in younger individuals with genetic hair loss. Be sure to see a dermatologist to confirm. If an individual's oily scalp turns out to be from seborrheic dermatitis or dandruff, use of anti- inflammatory shampoos often works great. Examples include:  ketoconazole shampooszinc pyrithione shampoosselenium sulphide based shampoosciclopirox containing shampoosHopefully this information offers a helpful guide.
