Welcome to HCM.
You can prevent dandruf by using ketoconazole with zpto contain shampoo.
To prevent hair fall use proper hair oil,do gentle massage on scalp.Don't keep your hair dry for long time.
Take good healthy diet rich in protein.take more fruits and enough liquids,
Consult dermatologist for better medical management.

Hi!Rashed,
Welcome to healthcareMagic forum,
Dandruff is not a disease .Its is nothing but a combination of oil ( secreted by oil glands present with the hair follicle ) and the skin which gets peeled off.So its a normal phenomenon .But if it becomes in excess then you require treatment.Please avoid use of oil on scalp.The concept of use of oil on scalp is out dated and old.Oil does not nourish your hair .It JUST GIVES SHINE .So a better product to use is a hair serum .Use of oil on scalp would make your dandruff stick to scalp.Oils does not help to reduce your hair fall either.There are other good medicines which can help reduce your hair fall but that depends upon the cause of hair fall.
You can use ketoconazole shampoo twice a week to control excess dandruff.One can even use topical steroid to control dandruff.In sever cases we also give oral retinoids (but this is given strictly under dermatologists guidance).
I hope this answers your query,if you have any further questions,kindly write back to us.
regards,
