Hair loss and dandruff
I am suffering from dry dandruff and hairfall since the last 3 months. It is scaring me now. Dandruff gets stuck in my nails when i itch. I fear oiling or shampooing hair due to hairfall. I have tried all home remedies but nothing seems to help.

Follow these practices to keep your scalp clean and healthy- 1. wash hair every alternate day- from root to tip. 2. Use a hair oil 1 hour before shampoo. 3. Dont rub your hair vigorously, gently pat dry.  4. use a conditioner if hair are frizzy.  If Your dandruff stays even after these practices, consult a dermatologist. The doctor will check if its normal dandruff or seborrhoeic dermatitis or psoriasis of scalp and accordingly you will be prescribed the medication required.

Hairfall is not due to one single cause. There are many conditions which can cause extreme hair loss and thinning of hair on the scalp. So first and foremost we have to find the cause of hair fall with the help of detailed history and examination. Some of the common causes maybe nutritional deficiency, hormonal causes like androgenic alopecia also called pattern baldness, hypothyroidism, telogeun effluvium etc. Unless we find and c,read the cause there is no point in giving non specific treatment. Also one should refrain from home remedies as it does not give any relief from hairfall. Oil and shampoos do not have any effect on hair growth as they are not absorbed in the skin.Please contact me using online consultation for proper examination diagnosis and treatment
