I'm dealing with dandruff and noticed my hair's been thinning since I was 23. It's getting pretty thin now. Is it okay for me to try using a derma roller on my scalp even though I've got dandruff?

Infection risk: Derma rolling can push dandruff flakes and bacteria deeper into the scalp, leading to infections.

Irritation: Derma rolling can cause micro-injuries, which may exacerbate dandruff irritation and inflammation.

Preparation is Key

Before using a derma roller on dandruff-affected hair:

Treat the dandruff: Use an anti-dandruff shampoo and scalp treatment for at least 2-3 weeks to reduce flaking and inflammation.

I'm a bit confused about the prescription my doctor gave me. They've suggested using Proanagen solution on my scalp at bedtime, mentioning something about '4 in night'. Does this mean I should apply it every night, and do I need to wash my hair in the morning? Any advice would be really helpful!

Proanagen solution is likely a hair growth promoter. _Application Instructions_ 1. Apply Proanagen solution to your scalp at bedtime. 2. Leave it on for 4 hours or overnight. 3. Wash your hair the next morning. _Daily Application_ Yes, apply Proanagen solution daily, as directed, for optimal results.
