Hairfall won't stop even after treatment
I suffered from dandruff and hairfall for a long time. My scalp itched a lot especially at night. Sometimes when I scratched it my fingertips became wet because of the scabs on my scalp. For that, I sought medical treatment from a dermatologist. He recommended me a combination of :
1) minoxidil OD 1 ml before sleep daily
2) ketoconazole lotion OD 30mins before bath daily
3) multivitamin zarwyn
For a duration of 1 month
The treatment has stopped the itching and dandruff but my hairfall hasn't reduced.
My hair keeps falling out with the white bulbs intact at the roots.
My hair density has reduced to a level where I can see my scalp through my hair.
Someone please help with the diagnosis

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 the best. 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 in addition to the medical treatment. 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.,
