Dandruff and rampant hairloss

2017-09-13 17:52:10
Hello, For the last 3 years or so I have been suffering from dandruff as well as rampant hairfall. It's been so much that my hair above forhead to crown area have started to thin and I can see my scalp now. Also have scalp irritation, tingling sensation as well as small lumps of white things(maybe dandruff) causing all sorts of pain in my hairs. Please suggest to me as to what should I do as all of this is resulting in nothing but more depression. Thanks

You may be suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts refeeding  from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. This may also be accompanied by severe dandruff. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is a lotion and tablets. There is no other alternative. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised  and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects on the hair roots. Please call me or  contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment. Do not start treatment without consulting. I can give guidance and then you can continue treatment on your own.,
