Thanks for posting the qwery.
Dandruff is a very common concern which results in itchy scaly scalp with hair loss. Dandruff is mainly due to fungal infection and dry scalp.
Treatment includes proper antifungal lotions or shampoo like ketoconazole etc with multivitamin tablets consisting biotin and folic acid to counteract hair loss.
Proper dermatological evaluation of the concern and treatment is advised.
Regards
Dr Sandeep
