Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Please send image and revert back to see the extent of involvement. Do you suffer from scalp itching? I suggest Sebamed anti-dandruff shampoo (Piroctone Olamine) or Salisia KT shampoo (Salicylic acid) twice a week for a month. Tablet Adgain (Biotin) once daily for two months.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for your answer.

Yes, I have been suffering from scalp itching too. I have used Candid-B and before that I used KZ lotion. Also, I tried homeopathy treatment for two months, but unable to get any solution for my hair issue. I am facing the prospect of getting bald at a very early age.

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I suggest Zydip-C lotion (Clotrimazole and Beclomethasone) on the scalp alternate nights for 2 weeks and 8X shampoo (Zinc pyrithione and Cyclopirox) or Sebamed antidandruff shampoo twice a week for a month. This is for your scaly and itchy scalp. As you have male pattern hair loss (attachment removed to protect patient identity), I suggest applying Minokem-F solution. It contains Minoxidil and Finasteride. Apply 0.03 fl oz twice daily on the scalp once itching over the scalp subsides. Use it for four to five months. I also suggest Tablet Adgain once daily for a month.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thanks for the reply.

As I have an oily scalp, I have not applied any oil in the hairs in the last three to four months. Do I need to apply any oil? Secondly, should I use any regular shampoo apart from this 8X or Sebamed shampoo? I have to wash my hairs daily from shampoo, otherwise they look very dull. What is the dose of Adgain? Should I use Minokem-F from now or after two weeks of use of Zydip-C Lotion? Will it help with hair growth?

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Do not use oil. Yes, you can use any other shampoo on a daily basis apart from this. Tablet Adgain contains Biotin and there is no mg specific for it. Use Minokem-F after two weeks once itching stops. It will help for regrowth.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
