Suggest Medication For Dandruff
Remedy for dandruff and hair fall
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us.
I am Dr. Kakkar (Dermatologist). I have noted your concern.
Dandruff or Seborrheic Dermatitis is an important cause of scalp itching and increased hair fall. Controlling dandruff effectively would reduce hair fall.
I would like to know which shampoo you have been using? Anyways, shampoo alone may not effectively control dandruff as the contact time of a shampoo is only 5 - 7 minutes or even less. Therefore I usually suggest something for overnight application in my patients of dandruff for more effective results, usually a topical steroid lotion e.g clobetasol propionate 0.05% lotion or mometasone furoate 0.1% lotion on scalp skin, left overnight and I ask them to shampoo next day.
You may try a coal tar and salicylic acid based shampoo Instead of the routine antidandruff shampoo.
These are prescription products and I suggest that you use them as adviced and under follow up of your local dermatologist.
