Hair fall with dandruff or a fungal scalp infection causing odor often results from scalp inflammation and fungal overgrowth affecting hair follicles.

1. Understanding the Cause

   • Dandruff and fungal infections can irritate the scalp, leading to itching, odor, and weakening of hair roots, which causes hair fall.

2. Scalp Hygiene and Care

   • Use medicated shampoos containing antifungal agents like ketoconazole or selenium sulfide regularly to control fungal growth.
   • Avoid harsh hair products and keep the scalp clean and dry to prevent worsening.

3. Medical Treatments

   • Topical antifungal lotions such as Keraglo AD Lotion can help reduce fungal infection and odor.
   • Consult a dermatologist if hair fall continues or scalp symptoms worsen for possible prescription treatments.

4. Home Care Tips

   • Gently massage the scalp to improve blood flow without causing irritation.
   • Avoid excessive heat styling, chemical treatments, or tight hairstyles that stress hair.

5. Lifestyle and Dietary Considerations

   • Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins (like B-complex, zinc) and minerals that support hair health, including dals, millets, and seasonal vegetables common in Indian cuisine.
   • Manage stress through relaxation techniques, as stress can worsen scalp conditions.

6. Monitoring and Follow-up

   • Track changes in hair fall and scalp condition.
   • Seek prompt dermatologist advice if symptoms persist beyond a few weeks or worsen.
