Excessive hair loss, dandruff, and itching can be distressing. *Possible Causes* 1. *Androgenetic alopecia*: Hormonal imbalance causing hair thinning, mainly on the top of the head. 2. *Dandruff and scalp conditions*: Fungal infections, psoriasis, or eczema can lead to hair loss, itching, and flaking. 3. *Nutritional deficiencies*: Lack of vitamins B, D, or minerals like zinc, copper can contribute to hair loss. *Recommended Course of Action* 1. *Consult a dermatologist*: They can examine your scalp, diagnose underlying conditions, and provide personalized treatment. 2. *Get a scalp examination*: To determine the root cause of your hair loss and scalp issues. 3. *Blood tests*: To check for nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or underlying health conditions. *Self-Care* 1. *Medicated shampoos*: Use a shampoo containing zinc pyrithione, ketoconazole, or coal tar to help control dandruff and itching. 2. *Scalp massage*: Gently massage your scalp to increase blood flow and reduce stress. 3. *Healthy diet*: Ensure you're getting essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals to promote hair growth.
