Hello. thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic Itching at the scalp skin with hair shedding can be because of dandruff/scaling. Dandruff is a cause of increased hair shedding. Another cause for increased hair shedding and hair thinning in you could be hormonal wherein scalp hair is shed and there is gradual miniaturisation in response to higher levels of so called male hormones i.e serum testosterone and S. DHEAS, circulating in females. I suggest you to use a Ketoconazole based antidandruff shampoo for dandruff, every alternate days. Nizoral is an OTC shampoo and it contains Ketoconazole. Besides an antidandruff shampoo, I would suggest an Oral Biotin Supplement once daily. Biotin is essential in the metabolism of hair and helps in the utilization of amino acids and protein required for hair metabolism. You may also use a topical Minoxidil preparation, twice daily. Minoxidil is an effective hair growth promoter and it is approved for use in females with hair fall. Oral antiandrogens like Spironolactone, Cyperterone acetate may also be started if hair loss is a part of underlying hormonal imbalance. I suggest you to visit a dermatologist for an assessment and appropriate treatment. Hair fall takes time to respond and you have to be regular with the treatment as suggested by your dermatologist Regards
