Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
I would keep a possibility of Seborrheic dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis presents clinically with itching and scalp scaling. Seborrheic dermatitis can also lead to increases hair shedding.
If I was your treating doctor I would have asked you to use an antidandruff lotion for shampoo, thrice weekly for 2-4 weeks followed by one or twice weekly once the dandruff is under control.
Biotin also helps with seborrheic dermatitis and in reducing hair fall and can be taken in a does of 10 mg once daily.
