Hello,
The chances of truffle oil causing these symptoms if very less and it was consumed 1 week back. The excretion of edible oils is mainly through urine and feces and less likely as sweat.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Thank you kindly for your response. Although I am still experiencing this odd phenomenon with my sudden oily hair after washing it again today and it is oily immediately after washing (I normally wash it every other day or every third day) I am wondering if it was something I ate. Two weeks ago I prepared a new dish that called for 1/4 cup of truffle oil. Of course I didn't eat the entire dish consuming all the oil but it seemed like a lot of oil to me. I experienced the taste of truffle oil for a week after consuming it. A week after that is when I started experiencing oily hair. Could the truffle oil be causing this odd phenomenon with my hair? A few times I even thought I smelled it on my pillow. Am I imagining things now?
Hello,
There is no medical condition as such which causes oiliness of the hair.I would suggest you to clean your hair frequently with a mild shampoo(you can use the ones for oily hair) and don’t apply any conditioner on the hair.Also you can shampoo twice during each wash and apply shampoo on the scalp without piling the hair on top.
