Brief Answer:
regarding dandruff and hair fall due to it

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.

Dandruff, especially if chronic and excessive can itself be a cause of hair fall apart from other causes like nutritional, preceding stress or medical illness and hormonal (thyroid, PCOS). I suggest you to use an antidandruff shampoo e.g Ketoconazole and ZPTO based shampoo like Scalpe shampoo or Nizral Shampoo. Use it every alternate days. Lather it well on to wet scalp and allow it to act for 5-7 minutes before rinsing it off with plenty of water

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
