Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
About the medications what you have tried, it seems that you have tried only for hair fall and not for treating dandruff. Your hair fall problem could be due to caused primarily due to dandruff alone.
Kindly do the following and hopefully this should help you.
1. For dandruff: Use Ketoconazole shampoo daily for 21 days and there after once in 3 days. Also along with this use Selenium and Zinc containing shampoo once a week.
2. Use Minoxidil 5% solution everyday twice daily by application on dry hair. In about 3 months your hair fall should reduce and by 6 months to 1 year, you should see new hair growth.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
All the best.
