Suffering From Hair Loss, Dandruff. Will Shaving My Head Help In Reducing Dandruff? Suggestions?
Hi I have been suffering from hair loss problem for 5 years since am 19.I have tried many treatments n nothing seems to have worked out.I have an irritating dandruff problem also.I feel shaving my head ll help me out of this dandruff issue.But i fear that, as my hair growth rate is very slow, most of my hairs wont grow back if i shave my head.Can u help me doctor?
Hi, Thanks for writing to us. Your hair fall could be related to dandruff or could be due to male pattern baldness. To treat dandruff, use a ketoconazole based antidandruff shampoo three days in a week( nizoral,scalpe, danclear, keraglow Ad etc). Also use mild steroid lotion over scalp every night. once dandruff is controlled, use the shampoo once in a week. also stop using steroid lotion and begin with minoxidil solution 5 percent 1 ml to be used twice in a day. apply the same atleast for four to six months for desirable response. Hope that helped. Take care
