Hello,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.
I can understand your concern for oily discharge and clear liquid oozing form your scalp area.
There can be multiple causes of your problem and to diagnose the most probable entity I humbly request you to kindly provide me important details of your problem:
- Is the discharge continuously present since beginning of the problem or it appears off and on (alright for some time and then reappears again).
- Do you feel it all over your scalp or a particular site of scalp such as back of scalp or front of scalp.
- Do you feel intense desire to pull your hair.
- Tell me more about your occupation ( I am not able to get "I've been a free donut ologist").
It would be best if you can upload a picture of the affected area so that I can analyze and give you suggestions accordingly. You can upload the pictures by utilizing the service by yourself at the right side of the query page or you can also send the image as attachment to YYYY@YYYY , with 'Attn: Dr. Sanjay Kumar Kanodia')
Hope to hear soon from your side.
