Hi,
You seem to have seborrheic dermatitis on scalp...also called dandruff. There may be whitish flakes on the scalp. Itching may be there. Hair fall may be increased.
Anxiety,stress and tension might exacerbate the disease. Pityrosporon ovale may be resposible for the disease.
You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment.
Mild steroid lotion with salicylic acid may be applied at night. And cleanse the scalp with ketoconazole containing shampoo. You dilute the shampoo in water and then rinse the scalp. You may do daily at bath.
Orally,you may take antifungal like ketoconazole daily in morning for few weeks. Steroid may be taken in tappering dose. If there is itching,take antihistaminics.
Control of dandruff might reduce hair fall. Biotin 10 mg tab may be taken daily for long time to have good hair growth.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
