Suggest Treatment For Hair Fall And Dandruff

Hi Drs,

I am 26. I don't have genetic problem of hair fall. I have V shape hair fall. I have noticed that I have dandruff a bit may be this is the reason. But I clean the dandruff and 2 or 3 days it appears again so please advise the permanent solution for this as I have noticed that the hair are falling from root.
I have used hair building fiver for hair fall but no improvement at all.
Please request you to suggest the needful to get rid of all these things.

Thank you,
Ahmad

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain hairfall can occur due to causes like fungal infection/ dandruff, nutritional deficiency, hormonal imbalances, side effects of medicines or hair cosmetics, long standing illness, stress,while can also be Pattern Baldness caused due to Androgenic hormones and genetics..

In case if you have dandruff it can cause hairfall as dandruff can damage the hairfollicles..
But the pattern of hairfall that you have explained that is "V" shaped hairfall, it seems to be most probably Pattern baldness and not only due to dandruff. although dandruff can add up to increase in hairfall..

I would suggest you to consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like complete blood picture, hormonal assy, Trichogram, Dermoscopy etc as per the requirement can be advised to you to rule out the exact cause of the problem and treat you accordingly..

You can be advised to wash the scalp with shampoo containing Ketoconazole, salicylic acid, coal tar, zinc, selenium etc to clear dandruff..
Apply Minoxidil lotion over the scalp as it improves blood flow and reduce hairfall..
You can also be advised to take a combination of biotin, multivitamins, minerals and amino acids for reducing hairfall..
Massage the scalp with warm coconut oil..
Drink plenty of water and take more of green leafy vegetables and fruits..
You can also discuss with a Trichologist about treatments like Platelet rich plasma, Mesotherapy etc..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
