Q. Please help me with my itchy scalp.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You have probably seborrheic capitis (an eczema).

I suggest Ketoconazole shampoo on alternate day. Keep in contact with scalp for 7 to 10 minutes in each application and continue it for three to six months. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the treatment with consent.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• No, shaving does not help you to prevent hair fall. But, it may help you in other way.

• That means, it will be easier to apply shampoo directly over the skin of the head and after all it is the disease of the skin.
