Hairfall and dandruff issue
Hi,
I am currently staying in Vadodara for last 2 years bit natively i am from Delhi.
For past 1 year i am suffering from heavy hair loss causing baldness and too much of dandruff causing hair fall. earlier i was in Bangalore where this problem initiated. I have tried every shampoos, nutrition tablets, diets, natural ways like onion juice and even Mintop Forte minoxidil solution. MY problem cures as soon as i go back to Delhi. I am very much tensed as i already lost my hair lines that went quite deep.
Is their any solution for it as there is no hereditary issue of hair fall and in my family..

You are 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 the best. 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 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.

Hi ! Thanks for your query.
Dandruff is a chronic condition that comes and goes. It is due, in part, to a yeast that lives in the scalp. There are many effective treatments including shampoos made of :
ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, zinc pyrithione, You can use a ketoconazole containing antidandruff shampoo for washing scalp with your regular shampoo thrice a week for a month and then as maintenance at least once a week for 2 months.You need to leave the product on for 5 to 10 minutes prior to rinsing. This will help to control the yeast responsible for dandruff. Avoid hair styling products and gels on scalp. Do not keep scalp oiled for long time. Do not share combs etc. Air dry your hair. Avoid using hair dryers. Do not scratch or itch.
