Suggest Treatment For Dry Scalp And Dandruff

default
Posted on Wed, 8 Jul 2015
Question: Attn. Dr. Ratnesh Pandey

Hi Doctor, I have emailed the latest snaps. Please review them and let me know the next course of action as I do not feel substantial hair growth even after 1 year of treatment.

Initially you told me it generally takes around 3-6 months to reflect some changes.

Even the dry dandruff is still there while handshaking hair. But its mostly dry.

Brief Answer:
Followup

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

After comparing all your previous images the finding are
1. Initially after the course of treatment some improvement was noticed in mid scalp.
2. Some new hair growth was marked at front side
3. thinning of hair was not controlled. and no improvement was seen
4. there is a major difference in current hair growth. Growth was badly affected these days and hair fall has been noticed.
5. Dandruff is noticed and a layer of dandruff is deposited. earlier dandruff problem was cured.

Understand one reason of chronic hair fall may be change in weather. Sweating and dust affect hair growth badly and it leads to rapid fall of hair.

Seeing current condition I would advice you start Minoxidil 5% hair oil. This unlike my previous recommendation, it is prescription based drug only. It can be obtained with a prescription from a local general physician. The dose and frequency of minoxidil can be discussed with your physician.
Change Wiesbeden 30 to Wiesbeden 200 6 pills twice in day
Continue Phosphorus 200 and selenium 1M it will help to cure dandruff problem.
Only medicine may help you to stop hair fall and help to retain hair. Your case has comparatively delayed response of medicine as discussed earlier.
Understand homeopathy is the on of the best mode of treatment to treat hair problems.

Hope this is clear to you

Thanks
