Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Seborrheic
dermatitis OR
Dandruff is an important cause of scalp itching and increased hair shedding. Dandruff related
hair fall is reversible and usually patients with purely dandruff related hair fall don't complain of a decreased hair density or hair volume.
Though controlling dandruff effectively would control your hair fall problem, however there might be another reason for your hair fall and decreased density, which needs to be evaluated after examining e.g Androgenetic
Alopecia is the most common cause of gradually progressive hair thinning and hair fall from the frontal and temporal scalp.
Seborrheic dermatitis and androgenetic alopecia are commonly associated and while patients may attribute hair fall to dandruff, androgenetic alopecia is the actual reason for decreased hair density.
Since dandruff is bound to recur, therefore rather than using a regular shampoo, people with dandruff should use an antidandruff shampoo to keep dandruff under check.
If I was your treating doctor I would have asked you to use an antidandruff lotion/shampoo. My choice is 2%
ketoconazole shampoo (Nizral 2% solution), thrice weekly OR even daily, for 2-4 weeks.
Minoxidil and
finasteride are FDA approved for androgenetic alopecia related frontal hair loss and hair thinning. These drugs are available on prescription from a doctor and hence I recommend you visit a doctor for evaluation.
Hope this helps
