Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Firstly, you must check if you have just a dry scalp or if it is dandruff due to seborrheic dermatitis, which is due to excessive oiliness leading to flaking of skin and oil along with itching. Sometimes, you may feel small bumps or wounds. Hormonal changes maybe causing the oil level changes at this age and can reduce with time. It would also cause itching and acne like lesions on face, chest and back which are oily. The oil causes fungal growth leading to itching. In this case, oiling hair makes it worse. Weather changes, use of new cosmetics, hair treatments can also cause drying of scalp. You may start with Arcolane or similar antifungal shampoo thrice a week for 2 weeks and then reduce the frequency depending on the result. You will need to review with dermatologist for definitive diagnosis and to observe the improvement. Do not keep scalp oily. This may be the cause of hairfall, so once it shows improvement you can take daily supplement for growth like Keraglo-Men/Follihair. Eat a healthy balanced diet, adequate fluids, and avoid junk food. Avoid hair creams, gels, etc. Start with this treatment and follow-up regularly with dermatologist. Please remember that this may take time or recur depending on cause and your skin. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Dinah Levillard
