View allI've been dealing with really itchy rashes and red patches for the last three days and its getting pretty frustrating. I'm using Zovirax tablets and Ocuvir cream, but I'm not sure if they're really helping. Should I be doing anything else, or could this be something more serious?

I'm not dealing with dandruff or any itchiness in my hair. I wash my hair with shampoo every three days and use good quality hair oil. I also don't wear caps that could trap any odor. Still, I've noticed that after showering, my hair smells a bit sour for around an hour. I'm puzzled about what's causing it. I don't have any allergies or other symptoms either. What could be going on?
You may be experiencing a mild case of scalp odor. This can sometimes happen due to a buildup of sweat, oil, or bacteria on the scalp. To help improve the smell of your hair, you can try using an anti-dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide. Use it twice a week, leaving it on for 5 minutes before rinsing off. Additionally, you can use a medicated shampoo containing zinc pyrithione or coal tar once a week to help control any scalp odor. Make sure to rinse your hair thoroughly after shampooing. If the issue persists, you may want to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation.
