Brief Answer:

Treatment of hair fall and dandruff

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

There are many causes for hair loss and treatment depends on the cause.

The most common causes encountered in females are anemia, thyroid disorders, hormonal imbalance, past histories of fever like typhoid and dengue, chronic diseases, certain drugs, past history of surgery, accident, trauma, crash dieting and recent history of childbirth.

I would recommend you to get your hemoglobin, serum ferritin levels and thyroid function tests done to rule out anemia and thyroid disease.

Meanwhile, you can take hair supplements like tablet keraglo XXXXXXX or tablet follihair once daily and apply an anti-hair fall serum like folliserum twice daily.

For dandruff use a shampoo containing a combination of ketoconazole and salicylic acid twice weekly.

This treatment needs to be continued for 4-6 months to see significant improvement.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards,
Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
