Severe hair fall with oily, itchy dandruff for over a year suggests seborrheic dermatitis, which can weaken hair roots and reduce density. Using medicated anti-dandruff shampoos and avoiding frequent scratching can help, but medical treatment is often needed for lasting control. Please consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

Hair fall combined with itchy dandruff and reduced density can be troubling, especially at your age of 17. It may be due to a variety of factors, which include seborrheic dermatitis, a scalp condition that causes greasy, flaky scales or nutritional deficiencies, particularly in iron or vitamins like D and B12. Also consider stress, hormonal changes, and a family history of hair loss. Begin by addressing the dandruff: consider using an over-the-counter medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or zinc pyrithione. Use this shampoo twice a week for a few weeks to see if symptoms improve. Be gentle while shampooing to avoid tugging at your hair and further irritating the scalp. Limit the use of styling products and avoid harsh hairstyles that might pull on the hair. Ensure you’re getting a balanced diet enriched with proteins, vitamins, and minerals essential for hair growth. Foods like leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and fish may help. If hair loss persists or worsens, it would be wise to see a healthcare professional or dermatologist for a more detailed examination and tailored treatment. They may recommend blood tests to identify any underlying deficiencies or hormonal imbalances, or prescribe topical treatments like minoxidil if necessary. Importantly, if the scalp shows signs of severe irritation, redness, or swelling, it’s essential to seek medical advice promptly to rule out infections or other conditions. Maintaining good scalp hygiene will also support your hair’s health, so wash your hair regularly but be sure to rinse out all shampoo thoroughly. With the right care, the issues can often improve over time.
