Hi Doc,

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your query you have symptoms of hair loss and itching on scalp well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like genetic factor, fungal infection, stress, improper hygiene and hormonal changes. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start minoxidil 2% solution application twice daily for hair loss. Maintain complete hygiene. You should take oral finasteride and oral multivitamins. Consult dermatologist once for proper examination. Doctor may order skin patch test, blood test and prescribe supplements like Vitamin A, Vitamin E and Omega-3. Do massage with olive oil.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
