Dr. Nazhat Sharma answered

Specializes in Ophthalmology

Sebum: Brush haitr with a hard brush to separate the sebum from the skin. Wash hair with a clarifying shampoo containing tea tree oil. Use hot water. Use dermatological products containing All traNS retinoic acid ( ATRA ). Powder the eyebrows with Bany powder to keep them oil free. Consult a Dermatologist.
