Brief Answer:
Could be related to migraine
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.
Based on symptoms, a diagnosis of migraine is likely. Migraine headaches are known to worsen with head bath or application of hair oil.
You would benefit from taking preventive medications such as topiramate or flunarizine, which would reduce the frequency and severity of headaches.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries.
Best wishes,
