Hello,

Candid B is not meant to stop hair fall. It was basically meant to hell scalp itching and scaling. I suggest you discontinue candid-B if your scalp itching and scaling is under control.

For hair fall I suggest you take an oral biotin supplement. You cannot use Tugain (Minoxidil) because it would increase scalp itching and scaling.

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

Take care
