Doctors’ responses
For an oily scalp with dandruff and significant hairfall, it’s crucial to tackle the underlying issues, which often include excess sebum production and possible fungal overgrowth like Malassezia. Begin by using a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or zinc pyrithione, applying it to your scalp and letting it sit for a few minutes before rinsing. Do this at least twice a week. Reduce the frequency of hot water baths as they can exacerbate oiliness. You may also consider incorporating tea tree oil treatments, as they have shown antifungal properties, but do a patch test first to rule out any allergic reactions. Another step is examining your diet, as high-sugar and high-fat foods can worsen scalp conditions. Eating a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins (especially Biotin, A, and D), and minerals like zinc will support healthier scalp and hair.
Regarding sleep disturbances and changes in appetite, your symptoms may point toward stress, anxiety, or other underlying health issues such as gastrointestinal problems especially since you mentioned stomach pain. Addressing stress with practices like mindfulness meditation or gentle exercise, such as yoga, can improve your sleep and potentially your appetite. However, the persistent stomach pain and these additional symptoms warrant a more comprehensive medical evaluation to rule out conditions like gastritis or more serious metabolic issues. If your symptoms persist or worsen, you should consult with a healthcare provider who can conduct further diagnostic tests, provide more targeted treatment plans, and possibly refer you to specialists if necessary. Identifying and treating any underlying health issues is key, as they could be connected to your scalp condition and hairfall indirectly, exacerbated by poor nutrition and high stress.
