Hi Am got dandruff all over my scalp. It does a little itching and when I scratch my head I can see pale white flakes fall. If I use an anti dandruff shampoo it goes away and it causing a lot of hair fall. When I switch shampoo the dandruff comes back. I got this issue for a very long time. Kindly advice

There are many reasons for hairfall or thinning of hair on the scalp. So first and foremost we have to find the cause with the help of detailed history and examination. Some of the common causes are nutritional deficiency, hormonal causes like androgenic alopecia or patterned baldness, hypothyroidism, telogen effluvium etc. Unless we find and treat the cause there is no point in giving non specific treatment. Oils or shampoos do not have any effect on hair growth as they are not absorbed in the skin. Moreover, you should never self treat with anything. Please send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription.
