Frequent dandruff, dry patchy scalp
I had scalp psoriasis in the past. I had taken homeo for it and had treated it naturally. But I get dandruff very frequently . Anti dandruff shampoos do not help. I have dart skin in patches on my scalp which when scratched generate dandruff and sometimes(rarely) get bruised). I am losing hair due to this. I had very good thick hair. Hair has thinned substantially but is still okay in volume. My father is bald and I am afraid I might end up bald too,god forbid. What should I do to treat scalp dandruff and psoriasis and curb hairfall and prevent myself from balding.

You are not having psoriaisis. 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 receeding  from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. It is usually accompanied by severe dandruff which we call seborrhoea. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is a lotion and tablets. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised  and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects of DHT 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.
