I have a severe dandruff issue that won't go away, and it is causing hair loss. What should I do?

Asked by Male, 30 · 29 days ago

Severe dandruff can irritate the scalp and lead to hair fall, but it is usually treatable. Use a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo (like ketoconazole or zinc pyrithione) 2 to 3 times a week and avoid heavy oiling of the scalp. Keep the scalp clean, do not scratch, and manage stress. If dandruff and hair loss continue despite treatment, consult a dermatologist.

It sounds frustrating to deal with persistent dandruff and hair loss. Using a shampoo with ketoconazole, such as Ketomac 2% Dandruff Treatment Shampoo, can be effective because it targets the fungal causes of dandruff and helps reduce scalp inflammation and flaking.

  • Apply the ketoconazole shampoo as directed, usually 2-3 times a week, leaving it on the scalp for a few minutes before rinsing.
  • Avoid harsh hair products and maintain a gentle hair care routine to prevent further irritation.
  • If dandruff and hair loss persist after 4-6 weeks of treatment, or if you notice scalp redness, swelling, or pain, consult a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and possible additional treatments.

Seeing a dermatologist is important to rule out other causes of hair loss and to get personalized care. If you want, I can explain how ketoconazole works or suggest complementary scalp care tips.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you're dealing with severe dandruff and hair loss.
