I'm suffering from severe hair fall. I can see white flakes on my hair, but it doesn't itch. Is my hair falling because of dandruff or something else?
There are many causes of hair fall. Stress, improper diet, nutrient deficiency, and hormonal changes are among the most common reasons. Each specific case needs a different kind of treatment. Treatments might include shampoos, lotions, solutions, or vitamin supplements. Dandruff is a chronic infection of the scalp because of a fungal infection. It is usually visible as white flakes and an oily feeling on the scalp. Dandruff is not always associated with itching. However, it is best to consult a dermatologist who can perform a clinical examination to reach a diagnosis. It is advisable to wash the hair every alternate day as a precaution. Shampoos need to be applied on the scalp and massaged to clear excess oil. Regular shampoos are insufficient to treat dandruff. You should use medicated shampoos containing antifungals.
