I went to a specialist for gettin treated for oily scalp nd dandruff and tht time i had very less hairfall but post 3 weeks of using the medicines i am loosing lot of hair like 3-4 times more than earlier.is it true that the side effects for dandruff treatment is loosing more hair? I used mx solution during this period along with the dandruff medicines and it became even worse.can you suggest me what to do to atleast go back to my old phase where i had lesser hairfall than now? I am feeling that i went for treatment and that actually made my problem worse.

I am assuming that by mx you mean Minoxidil. Minoxidil tends to increase hair fall in the first 4 weeks of use ..but this signifies that the action has started and the old dead hair are being thrown out and new hair are coming. My suggestion is that you continue treatment and simultaneously visit your dermatologist to get answers. Dandruff treatment usually doesn't aggravate the pathology behind hair fall is my experience.
Next Steps
Continue treatment and simultaneously visit your dermatologist . Don't lose confidence.
