A member asked:

What can i do if i have a smelly scalp?, i take a shower everyday but when i am in stress or my head gets hot it smells like farts

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Smelly Scalp: Scalp smell may be caused by an overproduction of oil from the sebaceous glands in the area. Additionally, an overproduction of bacteria, yeast or fungus on the scalp might cause a persistent infection. If your scalp infection is caused by a fungus, using an antibacterial treatment will not cure the smell. See your dermatologist for a diagnosis.
