Fungal dandruff, an oily scalp, dry skin, stress, poor nutrition, or inflammation of the scalp are common causes of hair loss with dandruff and scalp peeling. Regularly wash your hair and apply a Ketoconazole-containing anti-dandruff shampoo two to three times a week, leaving it on your scalp for a few minutes before washing. If your scalp is greasy, stay away from excessive oil application, harsh hair treatments, and scratching. Consume foods high in protein, fruits, nuts, and water. If you have severe itching, redness, patchy hair loss, pus, or persistent substantial hair loss, please consult a dermatologist as you may require vitamin testing or appropriate scalp therapy.

Severe dandruff that does not improve with shampoo can be due to a strong scalp infection, excess oil, or conditions such as seborrheic skin changes. Wash regularly, leave the shampoo on for a few minutes before rinsing, avoid heavy oils, and keep the scalp clean and dry. Try to manage stress and maintain a healthy diet to support scalp health. If there is still no relief, consult a doctor to check the scalp and guide stronger or targeted treatment.

Due to itching, inflammation, and scratching, dandruff can irritate the scalp and can cause more hair loss. Keep the scalp dry and clean, and use a Ketoconazole-containing anti-dandruff shampoo two to three times a week. If your scalp is greasy, stay away from excessive hair oil, really hot water, and scratching. Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, nuts, iron, protein, and other nutrients. Additionally, try to avoid stress and sleep deprivation, which can exacerbate hair loss. See a dermatologist for appropriate treatment and vitamin testing if the hair loss is severe, spotty, or lasts for several weeks.
