Hello XXXXXXX
Thank you for posting on HCM.
It seems you are suffering from Seborrheic dermatitis.
Excess sebum production on scalp promotes fungal growth and these in turn eventually contributes to inflammation and dermatitis causing a condition called Seborrheic dermatitis.
Seborrheic dermatitis can secondarily lead to hairfall and thus its important to treat it first hand.
Generally in my patients of seborrheic dermatits, I recommend a short course of oral antifungal drugs like ketoconazole/itraconazole and a lotion containing clotrimazole and betamethasone twice a day over scalp for few weeks.
Use a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole and salicylic acid twice a week.
Take antihistaminics as required for itching.
Avoid excessive use of hair oil.
As for the hairfall, oral supplement containing biotin and other essential vitamins and minerals is given once a day for atleast 3 months.
I would also insist you to post good clinical pictures to me so that I can help you in a better way.
You can mail pictures to YYYY@YYYY
