Itching on my head with hair fall
I’m a 26-year-old male experiencing itching on my scalp, which has been increasing day by day. I consulted a doctor, and he prescribed ketoconazole shampoo, which I apply twice a week. However, I still have an itching on my scalp. For the past 3 years, I have also been experiencing hair fall, and my hair density has decreased. I lose around 20–30 hairs per day (I don’t know the exact count, but it’s not more than 30). What could be the cause, and what is the treatment for this?
