Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I do not know your gender. You must be having androgenetic alopecia if you are male. Take Finesteride daily for long time along with tab. Biotin thrice a day. Apply minoxidil solution twice a day on the scalp. If you are female, the disease may be telogen effluvium. Apply steroid lotion. Take biotin thrice a day with cap vitamin E for long time.
If there is dandruff, Ketoconazole shampoo may be used. Almond oil may be used to oil the hairs.
Hope this helps you.
