Suggest Remedy For Hair Fall
Hello,I 'm a 20 year old girl pursuing a BE degree in Ranchi. My college is in MESRA,16 kms away from the city.My problem is hairfall which began soon after I came to the college i.e,for almost 8-9 months now. Near the forehead, my scalp is visible at places,especially near the hair parting.It involvs breakage as well as those hair in which the roots are visible. It's been to the extent that each time i run my fingers through my hair,atleast 5 hair strands come in my palm.Although,the hair at the back side of the scalp do not break much. I have an oily scalp an a persistent dadndruff,which sticks to my scalp. I have small grain-sized swellings of skin on the scalp too. I'm very worried. Kindly help me.

Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of hair fall which can occur due to many reasons like dermatitis, improper hygiene, irritated oily skin, chronic inflammatory skin condition, medication withdrawal and sensitivity to hair care products.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do olive oil massage on scalp. Maintain hygiene by using shampoo often using Salicylic acid shampoo. Avoid exposure to sunlight. You should cut back on styling products, hair sprays, and styling gels. Apply anti-dandruff product containing Ketoconazole. Eat a healthy diet. Consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may prescribe antifungal medicine and shampoo for your symptoms.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
