Had Hair-fall. Took Minoxidil. Stopped It. Now Having Itching, On The Scalp. Used Steroid Gel. Increased Hair-fall. Suggestions?
Hello sir!
I have had hairfall since 2 years for which i had consulted a dermatologist! He prescribed to me minoxidil 5% solution which i was using for about 5 months and then stopped because he asked me to.
After that i started having severe itching and redness on my scalp accompanied with painful pimples & i had a prickly sensation every time i touched my head!
Then he gave me a steroid gel for the scalp to control the itching. After this course of treatment my hair fall has increased by Atleast 3 times! Now I'm having severe hair fall! My hair will fall out in clumps. Every time i take a shower,i see a lot of hair fallen on the floor! It may sound like I'm exaggerating it but trust me I've never had such bad feeling about about hairs falling out.
I'm still 20 & this is causing me a lot of worry! Plz help!
Thanks in advance!!!
