I have a problem with my scalp/hair that has been going on for almost two years. I am a 28 y/o male I am losing hair and it is thinning at: my front hairline and on the top/crown only. My scalp in these areas becomes: very oily appears pink in color and itches uncontrollably at times. The hair that falls out is always from these areas as well and contain a small sebum plug on the hair follicle. Other times where the area itches I find yellowish sebum plugs right where it itches. I also have several rud bumps on my scalp in this same area as well. What is going on and how do I stop it?

You can treat flaking and dryness with over-the-counter dandruff or medicated shampoos. Shampoo the hair vigorously and frequently (preferably daily). Active ingredients in these shampoos include salicylic acid coal tar zinc resorcin ketoconazole or selenium.
If the symptoms persist then it would be best to get it confirmed from a dermatologist
