Suggest Treatment For Hair Fall And Itchy Scalp

Namaste Sir, I m a 19 year old male. I m suffering from severe hair fall, itchy & oily scalp, dandruff, hair thinning. The hairfall Problem is persistent from around past 3-4 years. I have already shed most of my hairs, my scalp is visible now & have very less density of hairs left on my scalp. I m currently taking Dr. Batra s homeopathic treatment from past 3 years (from 16 years of age) but it didn t help me even 1% & my condition has gone from bad to worse. The main cause of concern is my age. I m only 19 years old & feel like will become bald shortly. I ve bought a minoxidil solution (Cipla Tugain 5%) & Protar K shampoo today only on suggestion of my friend for whom it worked in great way. Sir, I m in great need of your valuable advice & suggestion as this problem is gradually killing my self confidence. Awaiting a kind response.

Hi,

You seem to suffer from seborrheic dermatitis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. It is a skin disease in which one gets greasy scaling on scalp,paranasal area and ears. Fungal elements may be there on scalp.On scalp it is called dandruff. The hair fall is increased. Itching may be there. Excessive stress,anxiety and psychological upsets exacerbate the disease.

I would suggest...

- antihistaminics like cetirizine 10 mg daily at night
- Antifungal like fluconazole 400 mg once week
- oral steroid in tapering dose
- apply combined lotion of steroid and clotrimazole
- shampoo with ketoconazole shampoo
- avoid stress,anxiety and worries

Hope this helps.

Regards.
