See a skin doctor: the hair will react sometime to the food that we eat or to the weather so some of the changes you are noticing could be from that you can alternate between oily hair shampoo and a dry hair shampoo 'you might need a medicated shampoo but thet required a prescription either you get in touch with one of our physician in a virtual consult so they can Rx or see your local physician or a dermatologist
