Hello, thank you for reaching out. I can understand how distressing it is to deal with allergic rhinitis, frequent cold, sneezing, post-nasal drip â especially when it has been ongoing since childhood â and now to face scalp issues, itching, and hair fall as well. I want to assure you that your concerns are valid, and you are not alone. Let's look at this in detail so you get a clear understanding and the right solution.
Connection Between Allergic Rhinitis, Psoriasis, and Hair Fall:
Chronic allergic rhinitis means your immune system is constantly hypersensitive. This chronic inflammation and immune overactivity can predispose your body to autoimmune conditions like Psoriasis â which also affects the skin and scalp.
At the same time, severe dandruff or scalp psoriasis, especially if left untreated or poorly managed, can damage hair roots and lead to significant hair fall, including baldness near the crown (called androgenetic alopecia or diffuse thinning).
So while one doesn't directly âcauseâ the other, these conditions are often interlinked through your immunity, stress, genetics, and chronic inflammation.
Are You on the Right Treatment?
You're currently using:
Protar-K Scalp Solution (Tar-based shampoo) â helpful in controlling scalp psoriasis but needs cautious use (alternate days is fine short term).
Dosetil lotion (Clobetasol â a strong steroid) â gives temporary relief from inflammation and itching, but should not be used long-term, as it can thin your skin and reduce the natural strength of your scalp barrier.
These are short-term symptom suppressants, not long-term cures. They may reduce itching or scales, but wonât stop hair fall or cure the root cause.
What I Recommend (Based on 23+ Years of Experience):
I specialize in Homeopathy, hair and skin disorders, and chronic immune conditions like allergic rhinitis and psoriasis. Here's what I recommend for you:
Step 1: Holistic Case Analysis
We need to go beyond scalp symptoms and understand:
Your immune response
Allergic triggers
Family history
Stress and sleep patterns
Hormonal health
Digestive function This allows us to treat the root cause, not just the visible symptoms.
Step 2: Homeopathic Treatment Plan
Homeopathy can:
Regulate your immune system to reduce allergy sensitivity
Calm the inflammation behind psoriasis and itchy scalp
Rebuild scalp health to encourage natural hair regrowth
Reduce stress, which is a major contributor to both hair fall and autoimmunity
Many of my patients have seen visible improvement in hair regrowth, relief from itching, and complete control of allergic symptoms within a few months.
Will Hair Grow Back? What is the Duration?
Yes â if the follicles are not fully scarred or closed (which is often the case in early to moderate hair thinning), hair regrowth is very much possible. But consistency is key.
Expected Duration:
3â4 months: Reduction in itching, dandruff, and hair fall
6â9 months: Visible regrowth from active follicles
12 months: Scalp balance restore
Why Take Treatment With Me?
I bring 23 years of clinical experience treating allergic conditions, hair and scalp disorders, and autoimmune diseases with a compassionate, results-driven approach. Each treatment is personalized and designed to heal from within â so you don't have to depend on strong shampoos or steroids.
Letâs work together to bring your scalp and immune health back into balance â and with that, your confidence too.

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your concerns in detail.
From what you've described, you're dealing with chronic allergic rhinitis, including frequent colds, sneezing, and post-nasal drip since childhood- and now also experiencing scalp itching, pimple-like eruptions, and progressive hair fall, particularly at the crown. It’s understandable to feel worried, but let me guide you step by step.
1. Allergic Rhinitis & Psoriasis/Hair Fall: Any Link?:
Chronic allergic rhinitis is often an expression of a hypersensitive immune system, where the body overreacts to common allergens. This altered immune response doesn’t directly cause psoriasis or baldness, but long-term inflammation and immune dysregulation can act as contributing factors.
Psoriasis, on the other hand, is an autoimmune skin condition where skin cells multiply rapidly, causing scaling, itching, and redness. If your scalp has flaking, redness, itching, and small lesions, it could either be seborrheic dermatitis, scalp psoriasis, or even folliculitis.
Chronic scalp inflammation from any of the above can lead to hair follicle damage and hair fall.
2. About the Medications You're Using:
Protar-K Scalp Solution (coal tar and salicylic acid): This is commonly used in psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis, and it helps reduce scaling and inflammation. Using it on alternate days is reasonable.
Dosetil Lotion (contains corticosteroids): While effective in reducing inflammation, long-term steroid use may thin the skin and cause other side effects. It’s typically advised for short-term use only under supervision.
If pimples and itching persist, it could suggest:
Sensitivity to the current topical treatment,
Presence of a fungal or bacterial component, or
Incomplete management of the root cause.
3. Homeopathic Viewpoint & Treatment Strategy:
Homeopathy treats the person as a whole - not just the skin or nose but both. Based on your history of chronic allergic issues, scalp complaints, and hair fall, a constitutional remedy is needed to:
Balance the immune system,
Address the allergic diathesis,
Stop further hair loss,
Stimulate natural hair regrowth.
4. Will the Hair Grow Back? What’s the Timeline?:
If the hair follicles are not completely damaged (i.e., scarring alopecia), there's a good chance of regrowth.
However:
It takes consistent treatment for 3–6 months to see significant change.
Avoid switching treatments frequently.
Reduce use of harsh chemicals or hot water on the scalp.
5. Supportive Tips:
Steam inhalation for nasal clearance.
Use mild, medicated shampoos — herbal or sulphate-free.
Stay hydrated, reduce dairy and refined sugar intake (can worsen inflammation).
Include foods rich in zinc, biotin, and omega-3 (nuts, seeds, leafy greens).
Consider a Vitamin D3 and B12 test — deficiencies can also worsen hair loss.
Recommendation:
Chronic complaints like yours need deep constitutional management - not just symptomatic relief,so suggestable not to self medicate.
Wishing you a full recovery and healthy hair regrowth!
If any other queries or looking for a treatment plan.I'd be happy to see you on a consult.

From your description, it seems you are dealing with chronic allergic rhinitis, post-nasal drip (PND), and possibly seborrheic dermatitis or scalp psoriasis, which may be contributing to your hair fall. Chronic allergic conditions do not directly cause psoriasis or baldness, but prolonged inflammation, stress on the immune system, and the use of certain medications may trigger or worsen skin and scalp conditions in genetically predisposed individuals.
Regarding your current treatment:
Protar K solution (containing coal tar and salicylic acid) is commonly used for scalp psoriasis and dandruff but may take time to show full results.
Dosetil lotion (clobetasol propionate) is a topical steroid and can help reduce inflammation but is usually advised for short-term use only under medical supervision due to possible side effects with long-term application.
Persistent scalp pimples and itching suggest ongoing inflammation, and it might be beneficial to:
1. Review your diagnosis—ensure it is not folliculitis or fungal infection.
2. Assess for vitamin deficiencies (especially B12, D3, iron, and zinc) that may also contribute to hair loss.
3. Manage stress and allergy triggers.
Regarding hair regrowth:
If hair follicles are still intact (not scarred), regrowth is possible with consistent treatment and care. However, if the baldness is progressing towards the crown (typical male pattern baldness), this might require additional supportive therapies like:
Biotin, iron, zinc supplementation
Homoeopathic medicines tailored to your constitution (e.g., Thuja, Graphites, Nat Mur, Phosphorus, etc.)
Avoiding harsh shampoos, minimizing steroid use, and scalp massage with medicated oils
A detailed case-taking will help individualize the treatment further in homoeopathy. You're welcome to book a consultation for a customized approach.
Wishing you a healthy recovery.
