Hello Anshu Kumar ,

Follow:- 1.Kz plus shampoo ->apply directly to the scalp, Keep it for 5 minutes, twice weekly 2. Minoxidil tropical solution at night 3. T biotin daily

If feeling pain while scratching means your scalp skin is peeling out, this leads to ulceration in future so minimise scratching

Do follow up With regards

Addressing your concern involves examining common causes and practical solutions. Dandruff, especially exacerbated in cooler weather, might be linked to seborrheic dermatitis, a frequent scalp condition. The dryness from cold air can worsen flaking. For the dandruff, consider using an over-the-counter anti-dandruff shampoo containing zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide, or ketoconazole, applying it 2-3 times weekly. Massage it gently into the scalp, leave it on for at least 5 minutes, and then rinse thoroughly. Regarding hair fall, it’s worth noting that some shedding is normal, but since you mention significant hair fall with pain while scratching, it might hint at folliculitis or an inflammatory response irritating the follicles. An anti-inflammatory diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish like salmon, and leafy greens, can sometimes help. Although not exhibiting any redness, the itchy pain could benefit from using a mild shampoo, free of harsh chemicals or fragrances, which might help soothe the scalp. Excessive sweating can also contribute to a possibly irritated scalp; ensure hair remains dry post-exercise to prevent fungal growth. Given your age, unexplained hair loss isn’t typical, so checking for any nutritional deficiencies or hormonal imbalances, like thyroid issues, with a healthcare provider could be illuminating. Stress management can also positively influence overall scalp health, integrating relaxation techniques or regular physical activity can often help. If dandruff persists, seeing a dermatologist could provide you with prescription treatments should the over-the-counter solutions not suffice. Always make sure to monitor for symptoms like persistent scalp pain or sudden bald patches, as these might require more immediate medical attention.
