<human>: My hair has randomly started to fall in the last 2 months. I lose full length hair strands in the shower as well as when I put my hand through my hair. My head also feels itchy some days and scratching it causes more hair to fall as well as this white stuff. My hair feels a lot thinner ever since this has started to occur. I tried applying coconut oil to my scalp but massaging it into my hair causes lots of strands to come out. I have no idea what I can do to prevent this! The help is very much appreciated.
<bot>: Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. It seems you are suffering from Seborrhea dermatitis, which secondarily leads to hairball and thus It's important to treat it first hand. I would recommend you a short course of oral antifungal Chat Doctor.  Use a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole and salicylic acid twice a week. Take antihistamines as required for itching. Avoid excessive use of hair oil. As for the hairball, start oral supplements containing biotin and other essential vitamins and minerals (Collinear new) once a day for at least 3 months. Hope this will take care of your query. Thank you
