Suggest Treatment For Severe Dandruff And Hair Loss
Question: Hi, I have the problem of severe hair fall (from last 8 years approx.) and dandruff (from last 12 years approx.). And by severe hair fall, I mean hair fall is so much that my hair are all over the place wherever I am. On the pillow, in bed, the chair I sit in, the clothes I wear, the comb.. basically all over the place wherever I go. And most of the fair falls down when I oil my hair, wash my hair or comb my hair for the first time after hair wash. This is the time when my hair comes out in bunches and not just few strands. Dandruff is another problem that I am suffering from and I have never been able to get rid of it, no matter what I try.
Brief Answer:
Measures for hair fall
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us.
I am dr.kakkar(dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern
Dandruff is a common cause of hair fall and so is thyroid (hypothyroidism as well as hyperthyroidism), nutritional deficiency.
Besides hair fall can also be a part of chronic telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia in females.
I suggest you to use Silkin shampoo for dandruff. Use it every alternate day.
Besides you may use apply folica hair tincture once daily at night. It would be effective for both dandruff and hair fall specially telogen effluvium.
I would also like to add a biotin supplement to this i.e tab revilus once daily as well as an iron supplement i.e tab autrin once daily.
You must monitor your thyroid status and consult accordingly.
Eat healthy and wholesome meal rich in proten as well as adequate in carbs and fat.
Oiling has no role in arresting hair fall. It rather promotes dandruff and you can avoid using oil.
Regards
