Hi there I'm new to the forum and have just recently started researching about options against baldness.
I have a very greasy scalp that produces acne on the scalp at times. I have seen that greasy scalp could be an issue as to why i am losing hair. My question is if a HT could be done if i have a greasy scalp with some acne?

I don't think a greasy scalp will present a barrier to having a HT. If you consult with doctors then do make sure you ask about it. If you're losing hair very rapidly then that would be a bigger concern. Please research the main hairloss treatments: Propecia and Rogaine.

Have you ever used any products to try and combat the oily scalp problem?
