How can one manage severe hair loss, irregular high hairline, and dandruff?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 19-year-old male. I have severe hair loss and a high and irregular hairline. I also have dandruff and lose lots of hair daily (about 40 to 50 hairs fall every day).
What should I do?
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern. Hair fall of up to 100 hairs per day is considered normal. Hair loss at your age is usually hormone-dependent hair loss. The irregular hairline is also natural and is not a cause for concern. I suggest you follow a few instructions mentioned below.
- Do not worry about the irregular hairline.
- Do not immediately start on medications such as the tablet Minoxidil (antihypertensive vasodilator).
- Mix equal amounts of Betamethasone (corticosteroid) lotion and liquid paraffin, apply it on your scalp, leave it overnight, and wash it in the morning. Repeat this process three times a week to get rid of dandruff.
I hope this has helped you.
Thank you.
