Hi,

Iam recently shifted to us(new york) from india(hyderabad). I have very limited hairfall and no dandruff while in india but after coming to us im facing severe hair fall, dandruff and itchy scalp. Im shampooing everyday but of no use. The problem is increasing day by day and my hair is totally thinning. Please suggest a way for me.

Thanks in advance.

dear, Dandruff & itching in hair- most common cause is fungal infection. If I would hav been at your place I would have shown to a Dermatologist & started antifungal treatment to avoid further hair loss & problem. You should also seek a dermatologist.
