Q. Please help me with my itchy scalp.
Hi doctor,
I have itchy scalp and have started losing hair. Can I get help on this?
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.

|Thank you doctor,
I have another doubt. Will shaving my head help in some way?
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.
