Management of dandruff and hair fall
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to use ketoconazole shampoo twice weekly and tablet containing biotin10 mg once daily.
Also apply minoxidil 5 percent lotion on the affected areas of the scalp twice daily.
The dose is 1 ml twice daily and it needs to be continued for atleast 4-5 months to see significant results.
For itching take tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once daily at bedtime for 2-3 weeks.
These will help in resolving dandruff and hair fall problem.
