Suggest Treatment For Hair Loss And Dandruff

Hello. I m having some hair loss and dandruff after 1 week of chickenpox (which is already going away). I m worried because i usually don t have any dandruff. I do have hair falling but not as much. Is the hair loss right now temporary and if so, how can I stop it?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from Seborrheic Dermatitis also known as Dandruff and it can cause hairfall as the dandruff damages the hair follicles..
You need not to worry as the condition does not seems severe as well as it appears to be transient...
It is mostly due to fungal infection and low immunity caused due to diseases can be a cause for it..
As of now you can start washing your hairs with shampoo containing Ketoconazole, coal tar, salicylic acid, sulfide, zinc, selenium etc..
You can also massage the scalp with Steroid lotion..
Take multivitamin supplement..
You can massage the scalp with warm coconut oil..
In case if still there is no resolution, consult a Trichologist and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
