Addressing hair fall, dandruff, premature graying, and scalp itching requires multiple angles. To begin, severe hair fall and a receding hairline at your age could be due to several factors. Androgenetic alopecia is common, but it might also stem from stress, nutritional deficiencies, or thyroid issues. It’s wise to consider a ferritin test to check iron levels, and thyroid function tests to rule out hypothyroidism. A dermatologist consultation might be beneficial if androgenetic alopecia is suspected, as they can offer treatments like minoxidil or finasteride. For dandruff and itchiness, try using ketoconazole shampoo, which helps control dandruff by targeting the yeast on your scalp. Leave it on for 5-10 minutes before rinsing, but if your scalp remains itchy, a hydrocortisone lotion might provide relief. Ensure you’re not overwashing your hair—two to three times per week is optimal. Sweat can exacerbate these issues, so try to keep your scalp dry and clean. Wipe your head gently if it becomes sweaty, and stick to breathable, lightweight headwear if you need to cover your head. As for graying hair, stress and genetics play roles, but ensure you’re consuming enough vitamins like B12, D, and minerals like copper through your diet. Premature graying might resist reversal, but addressing deficiencies can prevent further acceleration. Consider seeing a healthcare provider if your symptoms persist or worsen to explore other possible systemic causes and treatments tailored to your specific condition.
