Dermatologist, Dr. Pavithra Gundappa's Response

Hello,

When it comes to hair fall, 50 to 100 strands of hair lost per day is normal. It will be more in the months of June to September. Only if you notice significant thinning of hair, consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis.

For itchy scalp and dandruff, use Salisia-KT Shampoo (weekly twice).

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pavithra Gundappa, Dermatologist
