Hi,
As per your query you have symptoms of hair loss, oily and smelly hair which seems to be due to genetic factor, fungal infection, covering the head with a cap and hormonal changes. Stress could be an additional factor.
I would suggest you consult a dermatologist for proper examination. The doctor may order skin patch test, blood test and physical examination and may prescribe you drugs like finpecia or antifungal treatment along with minoxidil spray. You should take relaxation exercises and start taking supplements like Vitamin A, Omega-3 and Vitamin E. Take Indian gooseberry powder (half spoon) with water once a day and use almond oil.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
