I've been using Flutivate ointment for the past month as my doctor recommended. I've noticed some changes in my skin, and I'm a bit concerned about whether this is normal or if I should be worried. Should I keep using it, or is there something else I need to watch out for while continuing with this treatment?

I've been experiencing this really annoying itch on my scalp, especially at the back, whenever I apply any type of hair oil. I've tried different ones like almond and mustard oil, but nothing seems to help. I actually went to a dermatologist who said my scalp looks fine and advised me to stop using hair oil altogether. But I'm still curious why this itch happens only with oils. Is there something else I should be doing or trying?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
