Suggest Treatment For An Itchy Scalp With Hair Fall
Hi..
I am a 24 year old male.
I have been having severe hairfall for a long time. My scalp gets itchy and painful if i dont wash my hair even for 2 days. It even pains to move my hair around on getting up in the morning.
My hair have gotten very thin and damaged.
What should I do?

Hi,
Understanding your concern. As per your query, you have symptoms of itchy scalp and hair fall which could be due to improper hygiene of scalp, nutritional deficiencies, dandruff, stress, and underlying systemic conditions.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you apply Minoxidil solution and do oiling of scalp regularly. You should consult dermatologist once and get it examined. You should get your hemoglobin, serum ferritin levels, serum vitamin B12, and serum vitamin D levels monitored and start treatment accordingly. Avoid excessive exposure to sunlight and avoid using hard chemical containing shampoos.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
