What Causes Hair Loss And Itchy Scalp?

I am 22 and my front hair is thinning. This started maybe two weeks ago, up until then all was fine but i have begun noticing hair falling off (10 strands minimum a day).. my scalp is itchier than usual but not at the areas where my hair is falling off? is this an allergy to a shampoo or hair gel?

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of hair loss and itchy scalp which seems to be due to improper cleanliness, sudden change in environmental factors, hormonal changes, fungal infection and could be due to stress.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to find the exact cause and start treatment as per that. Avoid excessive stress and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Maintain proper hygiene of your scalp and wash hairs every alternative day and take Indian gooseberry powder half spoon. Consult dermatologist once for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe Minoxidil preparations and along with that multivitamin preparations as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
