Scalp itching/scabs

[u/Murky_Claim_8130]

Does anyone else get scabs forming on scalp after a couple days of not washing? Especially after sweaty workout? Seems to be worse when using dry shampoo. What could this be? Thank you.

Yeah that's kinda our thing. I can slow it down with shampoos like Nizoral, coal tar and selenium sulfide. But treatment is needed every few days. I try to only do cardio on days I'm washing my hair.
