Hello,thanks for posting in HCM.
In general there is loss of 100 hairs per day which is considered as normal.
Excess of that leads to telogen effluvium which in which significant amount of hair is lost.Many internal conditions have to be ruled out to control it.
Following investigations are adviced for hair fall:
1.CBP
2.SERUM FERRITIN
3.SERUM VIT B12 AND VIT D3
4.THYROID PROFILE
Itching of scalp occurs in dandruff.Use an antidandruff shampoo ike 8X shampoo or Keratyol PSO alternate days.
