Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Dandruff can be due to fungus or seborrhoeic dermatitis. Shampoos containing selenium sulphide and ketoconazole can be used for this. This can be used twice weekly. It should be left for 5 to 10 minutes before washing. Also you can take hair grow supplements containing biotin and other essential vitamins. Hypothyroidism and anemia should be ruled out by checking hemoglobin levels and thyroid profile test. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
