I am experiencing hair loss due to constant scalp itching, and I have no family history of hair fall. What medicated shampoos or treatments can I use to relieve the itching and stop the hair loss?
It sounds like your hair loss is secondary to scalp inflammation and scratching. Since there is no family history of hair loss, resolving the scalp irritation should allow your hair to fully recover. I recommend trying over-the-counter medicated shampoos containing ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or zinc pyrithione to target common causes of itching like dandruff. Shampoos with salicylic acid or coal tar can also soothe irritation. Use these 2-3 times a week, leaving the lather on your scalp for five minutes before rinsing. Please see a dermatologist for a definitive diagnosis. This is a very common, highly treatable issue, so try not to worry!
