AITA for asking my roommate to stop using my expensive shampoo?

I (19M) share an apartment with my roommate (20M).

We get along fine, but recently I noticed my shampoo bottles emptying way faster than they should.

It’s not just any shampoo.

I have a scalp condition, so I buy a specific medicated brand that costs like 25€ a bottle.

This man caught his roommate using his shampoo, so he confronted him about it.

Last week, I caught him using it in the shower.

I asked him about it, and he said, “Bro, it’s just shampoo. Calm down.”

I told him that it’s not “just shampoo.” It’s literally prescribed for my scalp and also really expensive.

His roommate called him dramatic.

He rolled his eyes and said I was being dramatic and that if I don’t want him to use it, I should “hide it.”

I feel like he should respect my stuff without me needing to hide it.

I told him to buy his own.

His roommate also told their friends that he’s selfish over soap.

But now, he’s being passive-aggressive.

He’s also telling mutual friends I’m “selfish over soap.”

So, AITA for asking my roommate not to use my shampoo?

The roommate is the one who is selfish.
