The foremost cause of smelly scalp is that what you are eating might be causing the problem. If your scalp odor persists no matter what you do to neutralize bacteria and its growth, you might have an overabundance of yeast in your system. Yeast is a form of fungus and it, too, smells. Check into the nutrition content of your favorite foods to see if they contain yeast. If they do, avoid them for awhile to see if your problem improves. Regardless of whether your odor is coming from bacteria or fungus, shampoos containing zinc pyrithione or sulphur might combat either one. If you also have dandruff, don't be tempted to stop washing your hair frequently because you think it will dry out your scalp and make the situation worse. An accumulation of oil in your hair will not stop your scalp from flaking, but it will cause a buildup of bacteria. In most cases, scalp odor is benign, but there is always a chance that it might not be. It is advised to make an appointment with a dermatologist who is familiar with unusual scalp conditions. It can save you time trying out various shampoos and cleaners and can identify a more serious problem.
