Brief Answer:
Regarding dandruff and hair fall

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.

Increased shedding of hair is a frequent accompaniment of Seborrheic dermatitis. Sometimes as the scales come off with treatment, it may result in excess shedding of hair which were initially plugged inside the follicle. However, controlling dandruff would eventually reduce excess hair shedding too but this may take a few days to happen and since you have just begun treatment therefore I suggest you to be patient and follow the treatment as suggested.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
