Solution For Hair Fall, Dandruff And Thinning Of The Hair?

Helllo Dr.
I have the following query:
I am suffering from hair-fall problem from least 7-8 yrs. This gets even worse with a frequently coming dandruff problem. My scalp is wounded due to severe itching & the thickness has decreased like anything. Whitening of hair is also happening very fast, may be due to severe dandruff. Please suggest a solution.

Hi,
Thanks for asking this question. First of remember that there is some loss and thinning of hairs with aging. Dandruff is almost always a pathological condition for which you have to use special shampoos and some times even drugs containing shampoos. Excessive dandruff could also be a symptom of a systemic disease and you should see a dermatologist.
I would suggest you fallowing ......
1- Use of good medicated shampoo like nizaral or tar containg shampoos.
2- Use of balanced diet rick in proteins,
3-Take regular exercise which should include brisk walking or jogging.
4- wounds of scalp should be taken care of otherwise these can lead to scars which will not have hairs in future; Scarring aleopecia
5- Use of home remedies like yougart, vinegar, lemon juice and apple cider vinegar can be tried but use in addition to the advise from your g.P. / doctor / dermatologist.
6-Be receptive of the changes that has to happen with age and don't worry too much about these trivial matters of life.
7- There are some products in the market which claim to regrow the hairs in baldness, make which hairs black permanently and with all sort of claims. You should not try any products without going for a through analysis and searching the net about facts about these sort of products.

Hope this will be of help for you. Your further queries are welcome.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The reasons for the hair fall and dandruff are the fungal infection, deficiency of the vitamin A, and iron.
I advise you to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms ketokonazole shampoo,grisofulvin tablets,iron suppliments, and multivitamin tablets.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
