Brief Answer:
Minoxidil 2 percent lotion, hair supplements & antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query.
I would recommend you to apply minoxidil 2 percent lotion on the affected areas of the scalp twice daily and take hair supplements containing biotin once daily.
These will help in resolving your hair fall problem.
You need to continue these for 4-5 months to see significant results.
For itching I would recommend you to take antihistaminic like tablet cetrizine 10 mg once daily at bedtime for 10-12 days.
This will take care of itching.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
