What Should I Do For The Hair Fall And Dandruff Forming In Clusters And Is Not Responding To Any Kind Of Treatment?
Hello! I ve been suffering from hair fall from the age of 15. I m 19 now. I ve dandruff too. The dandruff forms in clusters. And are very stubborn. I just cant get rid of them. I need to shampoo my hair after every two days otherwise it gets very oily, dirty, full of dandruff and itches alot. I find hairs every time I run my fingers through them or comb them. I never used any colurs or chemicals. Never straightened them. Used gels twice of thrice in my entire life lol. Had long hair before ( not more than 2 inch) but I am keeping them short for the last 6 months. But it didnt help much. I dont do any hairstyles. I have bald spot on front corners of my head and the hair round those area is thining aswell. My hair scalp/root hurts recently. Dont know why. Other info: I used to weight 50kgs when I was 15. Now I weigh 65kgs. I dont ve any other symptoms or suffering from any illness. Not taking any medications. I dont eat vegetables much. I dont use any sort of oil on my hair. I had very thick hair. Which made styling almost impossible. I still have thick hair but less in amount. I do have acne. No one on my father s side or mother s side is bald. I just want to know what is causing this and how can I prevent them. And I jst want to get back my head full of hairs just like before I met hairfall lol. Thanks in advance for any sort of help or info :)

Hi, You need to keep your scalp clean and dry. You need to use shampoo (ketoconazole shampoo) every day for a week and If there is any bacterial infection you also require antibiotic treatment.
Have good nutritious food( root vegetables, dark colored vegetables and fruits that improve the nutritional status and thus reduce hair fall) and you have to maintain your body mass Index(BMI) with diet and exercise. Take iron & B12 supplements as advised by your doctor and be stress free..
With the above measures get checked for your blood sugar levels once and maintain it in normal range. Regards
