Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
1. Hairloss: Hairloss may be due to several reasons like stress.
Any stressful condition or any recent disease like malaria typhoid; if hair fall is due to this reason than its temporary and hairs will regrow soon
2. If you have thyroid disease. Get thyroid profile done
3. Vitamin D3 deficiency can result in increased hairfall - get serum vitamin D3 levels done
4. Decreased iron - Get serum ferritin done
5. A type of hair loss in male called androgenic alopecia is due to male hormone testosterone. It is considered to be age phenomenon and in this case hair loss can be prevented by taking anti-testosterone medications in low doses. Along with above you apply minoxidil 5 % lotion all over the scalp before sleep and take biotin pill.
6. Dandruff- Most common cause of dandruff is seborrheic dermatitis in which you have scaling over scalp only but not extending to forehead ( in contrast to psoriasis).For both of these diseases there is no cure but dandruff can be prevented. For dandruff not extending up to forehead you need to use any anti dandruff shampoo. When it goes off put shampoo aside and when it recur then use shampoo again.
For dandruff extending up to forehead you need to use shampoo like Protar-K but disease course is same as above.Remember that dandruff has nothing to do with hair loss.Take no stress eat balanced diet and do some exercise.
Best wishes
Thank You
