Hi,

You seem to have seborrheic dermatitis and so you have hair fall. Steroids in tappering dose, anti fungal like keyoconazole and antihistaminics may be taken to improve the condition. Apply steroid with clotrimazole lotion on scalp. Have shampoo containing ketoconazole. Dandruff may be alleviated. After control of dandruff, take biotin containing tab for long time. Keep the scalp in good condition. Avoid anxiety and stress. Have good sleep and hygeinic food. You may get good result. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
