Extreme dryness, dandruff & loss of hair
Hi, I am suffering from a skin condition. I have flaky skin all over the body, my scalp is also dry and my hair is falling by the day. I consulted a dermatologist regarding this. Prescription is attached below for your reference. It's been over a month using prescribed shampoo and oil. But it seems to have worsened the condition, I have more dandruff than ever and now it itches all the time. Also, the doctor told me that there is no permanent cure for this and that he can prescribe me some medicine but that will have side effects too like gaining weight etc. Please give your valuable suggestions.
