Suggest Remedy For Severe Hair Loss And Dandruff

I have a feeling on sandy dandruff on my scalp, along with random bumps and hair loss. I have also had signs of depression, irritability, extreme constipation, anxiety, and loss of appetite. I can only eat one meal a day, around 6 or 7 and am gaining weight rather rapidly. This is while I exercise 5-6 days a week. I also have tonsil stones, if that s related. Hypothyroidism runs in my family from both sides, should I be worried?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe hair loss and dandruff which could be due to many reasons like improper hygiene, nutritional deficiencies, fungal infection, genetic factor, and hormonal changes. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to

-Wash hairs after proper massage with olive oil.

-Maintain complete hygiene.

-You should use Finasteride preparations.

-You should take supplements like Vitamin A ,Omega-3 and Vitamin E.

I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order blood test, skin patch test and can do physical examination . Doctor may prescribe you drug like finpecia at least for 2-3 months or antifungal treatment along with minoxidil spray.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
