Fungal infection & hair fall
Dr. I have been suffering from Itchiness and little hair fall, when I diagnosed the Dr. told i got the Fungal infection as hairs are falling and making gaps. Now i am using Levocetrizine since 12 days, Multivitamin & Ketakinazole shampoo twice weekly, but since 12days i still have pain & inflamation in the scalp, along with hairfall which is thin & normal strength hairs. Please suggest is it a seborrheic dermatitis and whether the treatment i am taking is enough to treat it?

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 a lotion and tablets. There is no other alternative. 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 for faster results. Please contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment. Do not start treatment without consulting.
