Brief Answer:
Regarding hair loss and dandruff

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

Perhaps you have androgenetic alopecia as well as seborrheic dermatitis. Androgenetic alopecia is characterized by hair loss and thinning over the crown and receding anterior hair line. I suggest you to take oral finasteride 1mg to arrest further progression. For dandruff, you may continue with the ketoconazole shampoo. In addition you may use a moderately potent topical steroid lotion e.g mometasone furoate 0.1% lotion overnight on scalp. These are prescription medication and to be used under supervision and guidance of a doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
