Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear
Welcome to this site with your query.
I am Dr V XXXXXXX a Sr Consultant Dermatologist.
I have noted your concerns and would help you in understanding and making the most suitable choices about dealing with them.
Dandruff is due to over-proliferation of a normally present micro-organism on our skins. When under control, it does not give rise to visible changes. However, when it overgrows and is associated with secretions and dead cells from the skin, it gives rise to typical symptoms of white flakes (dandruff) that are sometimes associated with hairfall and itching.
To control dandruff, one need use following measures:
1 Maintain good hygiene of scalp.
2 Using a Ketoconazole-ZPTO containing shampoo, twice a week or more often.
Every time it is used, it should be allowed to remain in contact with all hairs for 6-8 minutes to permit the medication to act for sufficient length of time.
3 Noskurf lotion for leave-it-overnight application once a week.
4 Antiallergics like LEVOCETIRIZINE 5 mg a day in case itching is significant and bothersome.
It takes some weeks for the results to show up.
For controlling hair fall, which I presume is diffuse all over the scalp, and the hairs are falling from the roots, needs to be tackled as follows:
(most of my patients are on this treatment with encouraging response)
1 Use a brush with wide spaces between the bristles, to minimize force on hairs
2 Brush only when hairs are dry
3 Light massage with avoidance of force
4 Biotin 10 mg a day
5 Folica solution, 15 drops twice a day for scalp use. Pl apply with polythene covered finger to avoid staining. Slight itching lasting less than five minutes after application is a desired response, though some individuals do not experience the same.
The treatment for dandruff and hair fall can be pursued simultaneously.
There is a good probability of fast recovery in a person as young as you.
Please be in touch if needed.
Our best wishes for your fast recovery.
Have a great day!


Thank you and have following questions.
2 Using a Ketoconazole-ZPTO containing shampoo, twice a week or more often.
Every time it is used, it should be allowed to remain in contact with all hairs for 6-8 minutes to permit the medication to act for sufficient length of time. -
Question - How long should I have to use this Shampoo? Is Ketoconazole lotion is also fine?
3 Noskurf lotion for leave-it-overnight application once a week.
Question - How many weeks should I use?
5 Folica solution, 15 drops twice a day for scalp use. Pl apply with polythene covered finger to avoid staining. Slight itching lasting less than five minutes after application is a desired response, though some individuals do not experience the same
Question - 15 drops each time twice a day? Should I need to apply and take bath or I can just leave like that
Also will you suggest any other hair oil that helps me growth of the hair?
Best Regards,

Keto-ZPTO is better
Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear
Welcome with your queries.
Please find the required information here under with explanation:
1 Keto-ZPTO is to be used for at least three to four weeks. Thereafter, the frequency of use can be reduced.
Ketoconazole plain, single active ingredient will be less effective than the Keto-ZPTO combo.
ZPTO is supposed to be enhance the effect of Keto
2 NOSKURF will probably be required for four weeks initially and after that the recommendations will depend upon condition.
Nokurf is more frequently used initially so that it helps in clearing up the infection fast.
3 Folica can be used even without a prior bath. However, it is better to apply it at least once a day after the customary bath in the morning and second time without bath. 15 drops twice daily applied to the whole scalp and then spread out is the recommended schedule. A bath after use is avoided as this will wash off the medication.
The idea is that it is likely to work more efficiently after being applied to the clean skin surface.
It can be left as such after application without any harm or unpleasant sensation.
I hope your queries are answered. if you still feel that anything needs further clarification , please let me know.
Best wishes.
