Suggest Treatment For Increased Hair Shedding And Dandruff

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I have gone through your query and I have understood it.
Dandruff Or Seborrheic dermatitis is a common cause of increased hair shedding.
You may use an OTC antidandruff shampoo e.g Nizoral shampoo, every alternate days. It contains 1% ketoconazole.
Use it every alternate days. Lather it well and allow it to act for 5-10 minutes on scalp before rinsing it off.
Use it for 2 weeks. However, if this proves insufficient I would suggest adding a topical steroid lotion e.g either Mometasone furoate 0.1% lotion Or Clobetasol propionate 0.05% lotion once daily at night.
Seborrheic dermatitis is a steroid responsive condition and they usually bring about a remarkable improvement in about 2 weeks.
These topical steroids would be available from a local chemist on prescription of a dermatologist.
Once there is significant improvement, thereafter, you may stop topical steroids and continue with antidandruff shampoo for maintenance.

Avoid hair oil

Hi.
Avoid Oil. Oil increases dandruff. If desired you may use oil for just 2 hours before shampoo.
The rest of the advice remains same.
