Hi,

Sure, treatment of SD might halt exra loss of hair. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and perfect treatment of SD. Avoid factors which exacerbate the disease...like stress,anxiety,tension,oily food,insomnia..etc. Do shampoo daily with ketoconazole shampoo. Apply mild steroid lotion on scalp at night. Short course of steroid may be taken in tappering dose. Antifungal like fluconazole 150 mg weekly may be taken for few weeks. You may feel fetter after few months. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
