How Can I Get Rid Of Itchy, Dry Scalp And Hair Loss?
Hi, i have had a problem for a while. I have a really grainy, dry, itchy, and hair lossy scalp. Its so painful and im only 15 years old and im a girl btw. My brother has the same thing. I honestly just want to hear a product that will work instead of constantly hearing lies. I dont want to go to a demotologist because of how much money they make you pay i just want an answer to get rid of it. Is there any type of remedies or shampoos or something i can use

Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
You seem to be suffering from seborrhoeic dermatitis which causes itching, scaling, hair loss. Its a recurrent condition. You need to use a specific shampoo for this condition.
I usually ask my patients to use a 2% Ketoconazole shampoo thrice in a week. Once controlled you can decrease the frequency of usage to twice weekly.
take care
