What Causes Itchy Scalp, Severe Hair Fall And Dandruff?

Hi, I m 24 and my hair has been falling a lot for one year now. My scalp is very itchy and when I do the itching some grayish powdery thing gets into my nails. I do shampoo (ketoconazole for last 6 months) regularly and use herbal hair oil. I don t use any other cosmetic. I haven t got any major disease in last 2 years. My dad and uncles started losing hair in their mid 30 s. Is my hair problem genetic or is it some kind of disease? can It be cured?

Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of itchy scalp, severe hair fall and dandruff which could be due to improper hygiene of scalp, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, dandruff, stress and clogging of skin pores.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you take Minoxidil and Finasteride for hair loss. You should do oiling of scalp regularly to avoid dandruff. I would suggest you to try to reduce your stress. You should consult dermatologist once and get it examined. Start treatment after proper prescription. Avoid taking oily, fried and spicy food. Apply raw honey at night and wash it in the morning. You should keep your hair massaged to increase blood circulation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
