View allI've been struggling with dandruff since I was just 5 years old, and now I'm dealing with premature hair falling out and even some grey hairs since my teenage years. I'm really worried about what's going on with my scalp and hair. Do you have any advice on how I can tackle these issues?
Chronic dandruff, hair fall, and premature graying can be distressing. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Genetics_: Family history may play a role. 2. _Hormonal imbalance_: Thyroid disorders, stress, or hormonal fluctuations. 3. _Nutritional deficiencies_: Lack of vitamins B12, D, or minerals like zinc, copper. 4. _Scalp conditions_: Psoriasis, eczema, or fungal infections. _Recommended Treatments_ 1. _Medicated shampoos_: Containing zinc pyrithione, ketoconazole, or coal tar. 2. _Antifungal shampoos_: For fungal infections. 3. _Vitamin and mineral supplements_: To address deficiencies. 4. _Hormone regulation_: Consult an endocrinologist if hormonal imbalance is suspected. _Home Remedies_ 1. _Coconut oil_: Massage into scalp to reduce dandruff. 2. _Neem oil_: Antifungal properties can help control scalp infections. 3. _Aloe vera_: Soothe scalp irritation and promote hair growth.

I've noticed my hairline is receding, especially around the temple and frontal areas, and I tried using Minokem like my dermatologist recommended, but it doesn't seem to be working. I still have these baby hairs on my scalp. What's worrying me is that while there's no baldness on my dad's side, there is on my mom's - my uncle and grandfather are both bald. Could this be something genetic from my mom's side? Is there anything else I should try or consider?
This could be genetic caus of hair fall,visit Dermtologist for more advanced treatment
