Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe hair fall despite using Minoxidil 5% which could be due to inadequate nutrition intake, poor hygiene, stress, change in environment, seborrheic dermatitis of scalp and inflammatory reaction as well.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to

- Do not scratch your skin and apply corticosteroid cream .

- Do massage with olive oil.

- Take combination of biotin and calcium pantothenate on daily basis.

- Use over-the-counter anti-dandruff products, such as shampoo with pyrithione zinc or antifungal ketoconazole.

If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe shampoos or ointments containing hydrocortisone, fluocinolone, oral antifungal like terbinafine or antibacterial like metronidazole .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
