Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from Seborrheic Dermatitis also known as Dandruff and it is a common cause of hair fall as the hair follicles are destructed with dandruff..
In case if the hair fall has increased with working it can be due to stress..
I would suggest you to consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like microscopic examination of flakes, trichogram and dermoscopy as per the requirement can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
You can be advised to wash your scalp with shampoo containing Ketoconazole, salicylic acid, coal tar, zinc, selenium, sulfides etc..
You can apply steroid lotion over the scalp..
You can also massage your scalp with warm coconut oil ..
Keep the scalp dry and clean..
You can start taking multivitamin supplements along with minerals and amino acids..
You can also be advised Minoxidil solution to reduce hairfall.
Add more of green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits in diet..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
