I'm from India. I have a very bad dandruff and my scalp is very dry. The dandruff comes out in patches. Can i apply candid b cream? Will it help? Will there be any hair loss? ## Hello, MK! How are you? Dandruff can have various causes, so before you can properly treat it. You need to see your doctor to figure out the cause. It can be caused by dry skin, oily skin, not washing your hair frequently enough, not properly rinsing your hair when you wash it, psoriasis, eczema and some fungi. Thus, if you use the wrong thing to try to treat it, you could end up making it much worse. What have you tried so far? How often do you wash your hair? What type of shampoo do you use? ## I have dry skin and in winters i end up having white small particles because of dry skin in some part of are. Can...

I tried many shampoos to clear off that dandruff but It worked a little bit but there was no parmanent relief. After suffering from it for 1 and a half year I went to see a dermetologist he didn't say anything but prescibed some antifungal medicines , shampoo and lotion. After using that for about 4 months it was diagnosed completely but the hairfall was not gone .So I st

I will be starting my monthly injections this week. Did my 5 weeks than waited the month. The last week and a half I have been cleaning my brush out daily (full of hair). My scalp plaques are all but gone just like a light dandruff so I'm thinking that it's more likely to be from the Cosentyx rather than clogged hair follicles. Has anyone else had this happen? Otherwise my skin has been clearing amazingly ## Yes, it has been known to cause hair loss, in some people that take it, in aftermarket reports, according to the FDA.
