What can be done for oily head and dry cheeks?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have skin issues. My head is a little bit oily but my cheeks are dry. My complexion is fair but white layer occurs on my cheeks after the bath. No cream suits on my face. Please suggest me some tips.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

For you oily scalp skin, first of all, you need to wash your scalp daily. I will prescribe one shampoo which you can use on alternate days with your normal shampoo. Getting whiteness after washing face is a symptom of dryness. Try avoiding harsh facewash or soap. I will write a face wash and a moisturizing cream for the same.

Thank you for consulting me.

You can always reach me at icliniq.com.

Regards.
