How Can Hair Fall, Dandruff And Itching Be Treated Effectively?
Hello sir. this is shriity from bhopal. Sir I have long hairs which were very thick. Now I get dandruff and itching after every 2-3 days.My hairs are dry nd dull.
I use ayur shampoo nd I've done every possible thing 2 stop hair fall. People advise 2 shampoo after every 2 days, but the amount of hair fall increase after washing my hairs. Everyday when I brush my hair, the only thing I do is shead tears due to hair fall.
I also oil my hair daily with coconut oil.
I'm tired of this hair fall.

Dear Shriity,
Before initiation of treatment for hair fall, the problem of dandruff needs to be addressed.
Dandruff is basically Seborrheic dermatitis & can be treated with shampoos or lotion containing salicylic acid, coal tar, ketoconazole, or selenium.
The causes of hair loss/thinning of hair are:
1. Environmental factors
2. Stress
3. Deficiency of certain minerals, vitamins & amino acids in diet. e.g. zinc, Vit B complex, lysine.
4. Any incidence of surgery, shock, etc.
Management includes:
1. Treating the underlying cause
2. Avoidance of stress
3. Dietary modifications
4. Minoxidil solution to be applied locally to stimulate the hair follicles
5. Multivitamin & mineral supplementation
So, it will be better to consult a Dermatologist to find out the underlying cause & start treatment accordingly.
There is no need to worry. Your hairs will grow back again.
Wishing you a Good Health
Take care.
