Suggest Treatment For Dandruff And Itchy Scalp

Hello Doctor, Iam Lal and iam 40 yrs young ;). I have sebhoric dtematitis. It started with Ring worm on the thigh and body with fungus on shoulder and back region. It started 15 yrs back. I consulted a Dermatologist and he prescribed me gerisofluin tab ( mild dose) and some blood purifier ( sorry forgot the name) along with Pytoral cream for fungus and candid B cream for Round worm patches. During this period I even had severe dandruff along with Hair fall. But after taking the medication I was perfectly alright. The medications were given for 2-3 months. But after 4yrs it started again, but this time lot of dandruff on the scalp, chest, beard, thighs with lot of hair fall and the scalp use to its very badly. Infact my svalp started swelling a bit and fungal infection on the shoulder and back.. But no Ring worm this time. I consulted him again and he prescribed me Nizral shampoo, Mintop lotion and mild dose of gerisofluin tablet. But this time it did not help but Mintop worsen it. When ever I use to apply Mintop my Scalp use to itch very very badly and swelling in the scalp increases. I consulted him again but of no use and noimprovement in my condition. I had to consult a another doc. She prescribed me ketokenezol tablet for 20 days and later with Nizral tablets along with some lotion for the scalp with Frongitar shampoo. These medicines helped. But once the prescribed duration was over Dandruff started again. She said I had sebhoric dtematitis and fungal infection. But after that this problem is still continuing. I consulted a ayurvedic doc he prescribed me medicine to improve my immunity ( immunity booster) and it worked. I got rid of fungus problem on shoulder and back permanently. But still I have dandruff. Now my Scalp is always oily and pasted like oily dandruff. My search is on in lookout for an experienced doctor to treat and cure me. Now almost I have lost 65% of hair. But my concern is not hair fall but the dandruff and itchy scalp. I am confident that if this itchy scalp and dandruff is cured I will get back my hair. I request the pannel of doctors to discuss my case and help me to resolve the above said problems. Thanks and Regards Lal

Hello,

Dandruff is usually a fungal infection of the scalp. Shampoo containing ketoconazole will help you. It comes with various names like fungicide, nizral etc. You can use this shampoo daily. Washing of hair doesn't cause hair fall. You can continue with the serum but try to avoid oil.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
