Hi Sara, I understand how stressful hair fall and dandruff can be, but don’t worry this is treatable with the right approach. You can start with these prescription -
- Ketoconazole 2% shampoo: Apply on scalp, leave for 5 minutes, wash off. Use 3 times a week for 4 weeks.
- Tab. Follihair once daily × 3 months. - Onion/rosemary oil 2–3 times/week for massage. - Use: Coconut oil + olive oil warm massage. Hair conditioner after every shampoo. Sleep on a silk pillowcase.
- For Acne- Salicylic acid 1–2% face wash. Niacinamide serum twice daily. Oil-free moisturizer. Non-comedogenic sunscreen SPF 30+ daily
Also, get these tests done- CBC, Vit-D, Vit-B12, Sr. Ferritin, TSH.
Give it 6–8 weeks as results are slow but reliable. You’re not alone, and this is fully treatable. Follow this routine consistently and you will see improvement.

Hello, Use Medicinal Shampoos(use 2-3times/week)
Rotate between these ; 1.Ketoconazole 2% shampoo 2.Zinc pyrithione / Selenium sulfide shampoo 3.Coal tar shampoo (if very thick flakes) 🛑Leave shampoo on scalp for 5 minutes before rinsing.
Daily Care
Avoid hot oil massage (can worsen yeast growth). Don’t scratch scalp -it increases hair fall. If itching is not subsiding after 4 weeks/severe consult a dermatologist in person
Maintain proper Lifestyle :
Reduce sugar and dairy Eat more fruits, vegetables, omega-3 rich foods (fish, walnuts, flaxseed). Manage stress and sleep, both strongly trigger seborrheic dermatitis.
🛑For acne: Adapalene gel (0.1% at night, very thin layer) OR benzoyl peroxide gel (2.5–5%). Use only on acne spots
Do NOT pick/squeeze pimples – this worsens pigmentation.
#For Pigmentation/Marks
Niacinamide 5% serum (morning or night, if skin is not irritated). Azelaic acid acid 10–15% cream/gel at night (safe for marks and acne both). Consistency is key pigmentation takes 2–3 months to lighten.
Avoid excess dairy, junk, sugary foods.
I trust this helps Thank you
