What Causes Severe Dandruff & Hair Fall?

Hello Doctor, I have pain on the root of my hair on the head. It pains on different parts of my head different times and when i run my hand through the hair. When i lose the hair after a tie (i don t tie my hair tightly either) it gives a really deep pain. I have headaches every now and then and sometimes severely. i have severe dandruff too on my head, ears and on my Elbow. What can be a possible diagnosis to these symptoms and is it serious? Thank you, Aishath Nuha

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Pain in hair roots in scalp may be nonspecific. Or Just mild inflammation due to seborrheic dermatitis may be the cause. It is not serious condition,so do not worry.

You may consult the dermatologist and get proper diagnosis and perfect treatment.

You may apply mild steroid lotion on the scalp at night. Shampoo the scalp with Ketoconazole containing shampoo daily.

Take tab. Ketoconazole. Take tab. Biotin.

Avoid stress and anxiety. Do not rub the scalp frequently. You may get relief in few weeks.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
