Is oily hair good?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Sebum or oil is secreted from scalp which naturally nourishes the hair and keeps it healthy. Only when the secretions become excessive, they clog the hair follicles, trap dust and cause hair loss.

I've been dealing with some itching on my legs and hands, especially when I'm sweating in humid weather. It turns into a burning sensation and I've noticed whiteheads and blackheads forming in those areas. The skin becomes kind of blackish but during the winter or rainy season, it tends to disappear. Lately, it's been spreading to more areas, and its way more noticeable when its hot and humid, like when Im sweating. The whiteheads are a lot, but during the rainy season, things seem to calm downthe skin just looks a bit blackish but theres no itching or whiteheads. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?
