Why do i have itchy smelly scap?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: Often time the sebacious glands in scalp can enlarge and become cysts. If they leak it has a distinct odor. See your doctor for a diagnosis. Dandruff can also cause this as well as infected eczema from scratching or psoriasis. You will need treatment for this.
