Doctors’ responses

Thinning hair and scalp issues like bumps, dandruff, and itching can be challenging to manage, but let’s focus on what could help. The first thing to consider is if there’s an underlying condition contributing to these symptoms. Dermatological conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, which causes dandruff and itching, or folliculitis, an inflammation of hair follicles that might explain the bumps, could be at play. It’s crucial to address any scalp condition because untreated, they might contribute to hair thinning. You should consider consulting a dermatologist who can properly diagnose the exact cause and suggest specific treatments. Over-the-counter shampoos containing zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide, or ketoconazole can help with dandruff and reduce itching. For the bumps, an antibacterial or antiseptic scalp wash might be recommended if folliculitis is confirmed. Hair fall itself can be caused by various factors including stress, nutritional deficiencies, and genetic predispositions. Ensure a diet rich in vitamins like Biotin (Vitamin B7), Vitamin D, and iron as they support hair health. Stress management techniques such as regular exercise, mindfulness, or talking to a counselor might help reduce stress-related hair loss. If hair loss continues to progress, medications such as Minoxidil are known to potentially slow down hair loss and promote some regrowth, but consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new treatment. Importantly, keep an eye on how these symptoms evolve and whether any new symptoms develop, which should prompt immediate medical evaluation.
