Suggest Treatment For Hair Loss And Dandruff
Question: I am facing dandruff and hair loss issue for last few months
Brief Answer:
Remedy for dandruff and hair fall
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us.
I am Dr. Kakkar (Dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.
Dandruff is a common cause of scalp itching and increased hair shedding.
I suggest you to use a ketoconazole and salicylic acid based shampoo e.g either Phytoral - SP shampoo Or Trigaine - AD shampoo (contains ketoconazole, piroctone olamine and salicylic acid). Lather it well onto wet scalp and allow it to act for 5-7 minutes before rinsing it off. Use every alternate days.
In addition to the shampoo you may use a topical steroid lotion once every night/ overnight for 2 weeks e.g either mometasone furoate 0.1% (Elocon lotion ) Or clobetasol propionate 0.05% lotion ( Topsor lotion or Topinate lotion).
These are prescription medications and you may use them as suggested and then follow up.
Regards
