I've been dealing with this really annoying itch on my scalp for over 1520 days now. I've tried dandruff shampoos and even mixed tea tree oil with coconut oil, but nothing seems to help. There's definitely no lice or dandruff, and thankfully, my hair isn't falling out in clumps or anything, just the usual few strands. I'm starting to think this all began after I used a certain type of mehndi on my hair. Could that be the cause? What should I do next?

You may be suffering from male pattern baldness (Androgenic Alopecia). It is treatable through a combination of medication and lifestyle changes. You may also have underlying undetected factors which may be promoting hair loss, such as dandruff, psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis. It is advisable to consult a dermatologist to determine the severity and extent of your condition, and start off with a treatment regimen that is suitable for you.
