Dandruff issue
I have had dandruff for a long time and an oily, itchy scalp. I also experience hair fall, though it has reduced recently. However, if I skip washing my hair for a day, dandruff reappears. I have no skin conditions. I’ve tried regular anti-dandruff shampoos, but the problem persists. What could be the cause, and what treatment or shampoo do you recommend?
Don't worry...you are suffering from seborrheic dermatitis causing dandruff and hair fall.. Specific medicine available for good control... Treatment depends on the severity..Do direct online consultation for detailed prescription by sending photos.

Dandruff can lead to hair loss . The antifungal shampoo might need to be upgraded. Oral treatments might also be needed depending on the severity of the dandruff.
However, it’s is best to rule out other similar conditions if persistent.
