Dear sir. I'm 39 years old. I have so much dandruff in my hair that's why I'm facing the problem of hair fall. Please advise me what should I do. Can I take surbex Z for this problem? Please advise. Regards. Nida

Thanks for contacting with your health concern and following points should be kept in mind before starting treatment.

1. falling of hair could also be due to an underactive thyroid, so please check with your Laboratory/Attending Doctor regarding Thyroid function test (TFT) and Hemoglobin level.
2. Dandruff and hair fall go hand in hand [Dandruff leads to irritation and inflammation in the scalp with resulting hair fall]
3. Low humidity and any immunocompromised state can also lead to the above-said problem?

PS. You need to Consult a Trichologist for your hair loss to rule out any other pathology, who will make sure that you are not affected with any fungal infection of the scalp [eczema/psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis ], [it is not dandruff, but the reasons for dandruff that cause hair loss.], in the meantime preventive aspect is given below

i. Avoid too much exposure to the sun.
ii. Avoid high extremes of temperature such as used in hair straightening devices.
iii. After bath make sure you avoid vigorous toweling of hair, let them dry naturally.
iv. Make less choice for synthetic hair oils, hair coloring, bleaching, styling, and use of dry blowers.
v. Avoid excessive exposure to sun, heat, wind, dust, anger, stress, anxiety.
vi. Avoid oily, fried, spicy, hot, fermented and stale food.
vii. Proteins are essential for antibodies production so milk, egg (white), beans, yogurt, soymilk, pumpkin, squash,watermelon,peanuts,almonds, if non-vegetarian (meat) are choices.
viii. Soap nut (reetha) and shikakai along with Bhringraj and Neelini oil act as natural conditioner and dye, you can use it safely.
ix. Vitamin B1 and B2, Omega-6 and Zinc, magnesium, biotin are very effective in treating dandruff so make sure they are a part of regular vitamin intake, apple cider vinegar, Olive Oil or Coconut Oil, raw aloe vera juice applied directly to the scalp.

PS. surbex z is an over the counter vitamin supplement, so talk with your doctor before taking the same.
