Losing Hair Due To Dandruff. Suggestions, Treatment?

hi dr.prasad..im a 22yr old girl studying for mbbs..im a kind of person who takes headbath everyday..but last june during my university exam time, i did not wash my hair for a couple of day..but that led to crusting at the back of of head..however i did not pay much attention to it thinking it will gradually go by subsequent washing..but unfortunately it has only worsened and the dandruff has spread all through my head and im losing a lot of hair and there are bumpy things on my head..it is also accompanied by itching and defoliation..so i bought clear oil and initially i think it was getting a little better..then a friend told me clear oil will get you bald and she prescribed me with danclear which contains ketoconazole..i would wash my hair with that but didnt see much results..i heard ppl say that dhatri dandruf hair oil and shampoo gives good results..so i started dhatri from yday but i think im losing much more hair now..was it a wrong step i took? Is it unsafe to use an ayurvedic product after ketoconazole? Which one would you suggest? Pls help me..pls reply at the earliest..im very worried

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,
You seem to be suffering for seborrheic dermatitis. Use Salisia KT shampoo thrice in a week. Apply it in scalp and keep it for 5 minutes then wash hair. Also use Candid B lotion twice in a day. Keep your clean and do not oil it. Oiling aggravates dandruff. Hope that solves your query. Take care.
