Scalp thinning and reduced hair density
From the last 2 years I am noticing overall scalp thinning, slow hair growth and reduced hair density. Along with this I have dandruff (white/yellow flakes) and dry scalp. Hair falls from root while shampooing and combing. No family history of baldness. I wash hair once in 10–15 days and do not apply oil. Kindly guide me about the possible reason, tests needed and treatment options.

I advise you to consult a dermatologist online or in person, share clear pictures, and get a personalized treatment plan. Only after proper evaluation can the right medicines (creams/tablets) be prescribed.”
