I'm really concerned because I've been losing hair from my scalp, body, and even my public hair for the past eight months. It all seemed to start when I was diagnosed with acid reflux and began taking the medication the doctor prescribed. I only took them for two days before I noticed the hair loss. On top of that, I've been dealing with dandruff for the last five years. Could this hair loss be related to the meds I was taking or maybe the dandruff, scalp psoriasis, or even a deficiency or something else entirely? The medicines I was prescribed were Picotex syrup, Tricaine MPS gel, Orypan DSR, Arcalion tab, Orycobal cap, and Biopride cap. Any idea what's going on?

I'm really worried about my scalp because it's always hot and I'm dealing with a lot of dandruff and hair loss. Could the dandruff be spreading to my eyebrows as well? I've been using Head and Shoulders, but it doesn't seem to be helping. What would you suggest I do?

use 2% ketoconazole shampoo twice a week and as your dandruff subside consult dermatologist to find out the root cause of hairfall and can start the treatment
