Dr. Neeraj Agarwal
I’m an MBBS graduate with a deep commitment to providing meaningful, patient-first care. My clinical training has given me a solid understanding of how to assess and manage a wide variety of health conditions—both common and complex. But beyond just clinical skills, I’ve always believed that the heart of medicine lies in listening. That’s what I try to bring into every consultation: not just treatment, but genuine attention to the person in front of me. I have gained experience across general medicine, paediatrics, emergency care and preventive health. I have treated patients of different age groups and backgrounds, which has helped shaped a more flexible, to diagnosis and management. Whether someone comes with a new symptom or a routine check-up, I aim to deliver evidence-based treatment, explained clearly and tailored to the lifestyle. I’m especially focused on making care accessible and comfortable. Too often, patients feel rushed or confused when they leave a doctor’s office—I try to do the opposite. Taking time to explain options, risks, or even just what’s going on in simple terms is something I take seriously. Communication, I think, is just as important as any prescription. I actively stay updated with current medical guidelines and research, and I’ve been exploring areas of holistic care and preventive medicine too. The more we can do to catch problems early—or better yet, avoid them—the better the outcome for everyone. I’ve seen how small lifestyle changes, when supported properly, can make a big difference to long-term health. There’s still a lot to learn, of course. I think every good doctor keeps learning. But every patient I see teaches me something new, and I carry those lessons forward—with honesty, empathy, and the intent to keep improving.

Likely Diagnosis: Seborrheic Dermatitis or Scalp Folliculitis What to Do: Stop hair oil completely (no coconut/almond oil)

Use medicated shampoo 2–3 times/week:

Scalpe+ Anti-Dandruff Shampoo or Ketoconazole 2% shampoo (e.g., Nizoral) Don’t scratch – causes hair fall and infection If very itchy: Use Clotrimazole lotion at night

Add This to Your Routine: Morning:

Face wash: Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser Serum (optional): Minimalist Niacinamide 10% or The Ordinary Niacinamide – helps with oil + tone Moisturiser: Re’equil Oil-Free Moisturizer Sunscreen: La Shield Gel SPF 40

Night:

Wash face with same cleanser Apply Adapalene 0.1% gel only alternative days

For bad odour

Bathe twice daily (if sweating too much) Use antibacterial soap like CandidBar, Margo Neem, or Dettol Apply Roll-on antiperspirants after bath:Nivea roll-on, Dove roll-on, or Sweatgo lotion Wear loose cotton clothes and change innerwear daily Shave underarms if sweating a lot

It sounds like you’re experiencing a combination of issues with your skin and scalp that might be interconnected. The oily scalp and the itching can be related to seborrheic dermatitis or dandruff, which is more common if there’s excess oil production. Try using a medicated shampoo containing ingredients like ketoconazole or zinc pyrithione 2-3 times a week. For the days you don’t use the medicated shampoo, opt for a gentle, sulfate-free one that won’t strip your scalp. When applying oil, ensure it’s a light, non-comedogenic type, and consider using it sparingly or skipping it altogether if it exacerbates the itching. As for your oily skin, even though you’re using Cetaphil’s cleanser for oily skin, consider integrating a product with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to help manage oil production and treat any acne lesions that might be causing uneven skin tone. Using an oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer daily can also help balance oil production. Pay attention to your diet and hydration – ensuring you’re drinking enough water and consuming a balanced diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can support your skin health. The unpleasant sweat odor can sometimes be linked to bacterial growth on the skin due to excessive sweating; ensure you maintain regular hygiene by showering daily, especially after any activity that causes sweating. You might try an antiperspirant if the odor persists, focusing on clean underarms. Hormonal changes at your age are normal and might be contributing to these issues as well. If symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting with a dermatologist who can provide more tailored advice possibly including prescription treatments.
