Hi, itchy scalp with dandruff could be a sign of seborrhoeic dermatitis. Androgenetic Alopecia is the most common cause of hair fall in males. It is usually because of hereditary factors along with nutritional deficiencies and stress. You could get good results with oral medication and non surgical options.
