Hi,

You seem to have seborrheic dermatitis of scalp. And that would be the cause of severe hair fall. It is a multifactorial disease.. Stress,tension,atopy,oily food,sleeplessness,minor infection anywhere in body,poor immunity,vitamin deficiencies....so on.You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment.

I would suggest as follow..

- antihistaminics
- steroids in tappering dose
- antibiotics
- biotin tablets
- mild steroid lotion application on scalp at night
- shampoo containing ketoconazole ...daily shampoo
- avoid tension

I hope this would help you.. But,please take long term treatment and have patience.

Thanks.
