Hi,

You seem to have seborrheic dermatitis on scalp. There may be flakes on scalp. It is an inflammatory skin disease. There may be some triggering factor. Stress,anxiety,sleeplessness,yeast like mellassazia on scalp..etc might trigger. It may be responsible for hair loss.

You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment.

I would like to suggest as follow...

- apply mild steroid with salicylic acid lotion on scalp at night.
- cleanse the scalp with ketoconazole with salicylic acid shampoo alternate days while bathing
- tab ketoconazole daily for 2 to 3 weeks
- tab biotin 10 mg daily for few months to control hair fall
- avoid stress and worries

I hope this would help you..

Thanks.
