How Can Hair Loss, Facial Acne, Oily Skin And Dandruff Be Treated?

Hi, I am 27yr old male and have been having heavy hair loss for the past 4-6 months. For the same duration , I have been also having a very frequent breakout of pimples/acne all over my face. FYI - I have always had a very oily skin and I do have wet dandruff; hence I use oil removing face-wash twice a day and shampoo my hair with Head & Shoulders anti dandruff shampoo every day. NONE of which is of any help. I have also tried MX-5 for 2 months with no results. Also please be aware that as per my family physician s advice I have tested my Thyroid levels and they are within range.

Hi,

Acne vulgaris and dandruff are related condition commonly occur in youngsters. Stress, sleeplessness, physical work, oily food can exacerbate the condition. Cap Doxycycline daily for a few months will improve the acne lesions and decrease the oiliness on the face. Apply Clindamycine gel on the face at night. Cleanse the face with Cetaphil lotion.
For dandruff, Ketoconazole shampoo may be done.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
