How To Get Rid Of Itchy Scalp?
I have lost some hair in the last 2 years and I have been having some minor itching sensation on the scalp sometimes. I used to wear my helmet very regularly till 6 months ago. Now, I dont use the helmet regularly. However, I am still losing some hair and have some itching sensation too. The rate of hair loss is ver slow and it's not easily noticeable yet. Is this a sign of baldness or is it just some fungal infection? What do you advise me to do?

Hello,
Thank you for writing to HCM
Dandruff is the common cause of itching sensation in the scalp. Dandruff also cause hair fall.
I would advice you to wash your hair with arcolane anti dandruff shampoo twice a week. This shampoo contains low sulphur so also helps with your hair loss.
Take tab. Biotin 5mg daily once for 3 months. Apply minoxidil 5% about 20 drops in your crown and massage Daily night. Wash your hands after massaging. Use minoxidil for minimum 1 year.
Regards.
