I'm considering using Candid B lotion on my scalp as my doctor suggested it for dandruff, but I'm a bit worried. Can it actually lead to hair fall?

Candid B lotion, containing clotrimazole and betamethasone, can be used on the scalp for dandruff, but prolonged use or excessive application may lead to hair loss, itching, or other scalp issues, so use it as directed by your doctor and monitor your scalp's response.

Can someone help me figure out what's going on or suggest any solutions?

Could there be an underlying cause for these fast and frequent changes?
