Hair density decreasing

Question

Asked for Female, 27 Years

Hello Doctor, My wife is experiencing decreasing hair density on sides of skull above ears and on the top-back of the skull. She had dense hairs few years ago. Now the rate of hairfall and dandruff is high. She is experiencing itchy flaky scalp with pain in some areas. Recently small pimples have also appeared on the scalp. She has taken emergency contraceptives in November'16, December'16 and Feb'17. Could it be due to hormonal disbalance or some infection. Can this lead to baldness. She is very stressed due to all this. Please help us out.

Hi ! Hormonal imbalances can cause hair fall and thinning. Dandruff is a common occurence. It has a tendency to recur. You have to take continuous efforts to keep it at bay. 1. Shampoo hair as frequently as required. Keep the hair clean. 2. Avoid hair styling products till dandruff goes off. 3. Use anti dandruff shampoo which contains ketoconazole once or twice a week. 4.Oil clean washed hair. 5. Do not try to scrape or comb away the flakes. Be gentle with your hair and scalp. 6. Wash your combs and brushes regularly. Do not share them.
