Hi, Thanks for writing to us. Firstly you need to treat your dandruff and oily scalp. For the same, use a ketoconazole based shampoo every alternate day. Apply it over scalp for five to ten minutes then wash off. Also use an antifungal steroid lotion like candid b or zydip c twice in a day. Once dandruff is controlled, just continue with ketoconazole shampoo once in a week. As you have an oily scalp, avoid applying oil over scalp and use a shampoo meant for oily scalp every alternate days. Dandruff could be the cause of hair fall in your case. If its due to dandruff, it will improve once dandruff is gone. Also use of minoxidil solution 1 ml twice in a day would help. However if hair fall persists, you need to consult a dermatologist to rule out the underlying cause.
Hope this helped. Take care
