Hi,

Most common cause of hair fall in a young female is dried scalp which occurs due to facing extreme tempratures and use of excessive hair dryers,whoose solution is keep your scalp well hydrated by the adequate use of moisturizers and oil.
Then it could be dandruff which is very common,for which you have to use anti dandruff shampoo like nizral shampoo.
It could be due to some allergy to some item or may be due to reaction with some item,if it is so then avoid that product.
Don't use to much of shampoos and soaps don't use them regularly,and try and use good products
Do you have redness in you scalp,have you noticed it ?
You can send me the photos of your scalp top and also of your amount of hair loss.

My 3 year old son has been breaking out into very itchy bumps for the last one week. These bumps come and go without leaving any mark. I have seen them on his face, arms, legs and stomach. There has been no change in his diet and he is otherwise well. What could this be? I am very worried.

In children amongst the commonest are intestinal worms and recent infection (e.g viral fever, cough & cold). In most cases acute urticaria is self-limiting with in 2-6 weeks. I would recommend deworming your son with Syru ...

I have an itchy scalp, dandruff and experience pain in my hair roots. After meeting a skin doctor I have been using an overnight lotion twice a week, shampoo and multivitamin tablets prescribed by her since last ten days. Right now I have developed some swellings in the back of my head on the right side behind my ear on the hairline. It is extremely itchy around that area since last three days. This seems to be a recurring symptom and it appeared during summer season in the last two years also. Sometimes I get headaches that takes place on the right side of my face and head, and last for 24 hrs. I was diagnosed with cervical spondylosis two years ago. After my recent health checkup my thyroid is on the margin at 5.71. What should I do? Which doctor should I see?
