Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have dandruff, hair fall, and lately, I saw tiny white balls on my scalp after which my scalp became very itchy. Please tell me how to treat this condition.

Answered by Dr. Payal Chauhan

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You have seborrheic dermatitis probably. Use the following medications. Kindly consult your doctor to discuss the suggestion and take the treatment with consent.

1. Zydip-C lotion (Clotrimazole, Beclomethasone) apply once at night on the scalp.

2. Protar K shampoo (Ketoconazole, Coal tar) three days per week.

3 Tablet Desloratadine 5 mg once at night.

Do this for 20 days and avoid hair oil.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
