Excessive Hairfall and itchy scalp
Hi, i have been facing a lot of hair fall these days and my scalp feels itchy and irritated most of the time. Sometimes i have felt small bumps around my lower neck area at the root of the hair. I have faced severe dandruff issues in the past while I do not have any visible dandruff flakes currently, whenever i scratch my head, there is some greasy substance which gets in my nails so i am not sure whether it is the dandruff or something else. I was also diagnosed with hyperthyroidism last year but got the test done again 6 months back and the results were normal. I also workout everyday and hence feel itchy post workout because of the sweat in my hair. Please help me out in understanding this problem as the itchiness is not very severe but quite frequent and i am having a lot of hair fall which makes me stress out more
