Hair weakness, dandruff and skin flaking
I am 21 yr old and I'm having the dandruff problem since I was a child, and in the winters it gets worse. Due to this I'm able to see my scalp and I'm a bit worried. It's skin flakes also I guess but I'm not sure. I shampoo 2-3 times a week. Occasionally put oil in my hair one day before my shampoo. I would just like to make my hair stronger and remove the dandruff, so it prevents the hair loss. It also gets a lot itchy in winters.

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 the best. 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. Along with this, you can also consider platelet rich plasma therapy in addition to the medical treatment. 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.,
