Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have hair loss and itchy small patches on the scalp . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like genetic factor , fungal infection , covering head with cap and hormonal changes .

In your case it seems to me that the fungal infection is the probably reason . I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test and physical examination . Apply over the counter antifungal ointment .

Doctor may prescribe you drug like finpecia at least for 3-4 months or anti fungal treatment along with minoxidil spray and antifungal drug. Doctor may also prescribe supplements like Vitamin A ,Omega-3 and Vitamin E . Doctor may also recommend hair transplant with HUE technique .

Take Indian goose berry powder ( half spoon ) with water once a day.
Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
