View allI've been using minoxidil and procapil for my hair loss, but my hair's been really dry lately, and I'm worried it might be making the hair loss worse. Is it okay if I use hair oil along with these treatments? Could the dryness be contributing to the hair issue?

I'm really worried about my hair. I used to have really thick, jet-black hair ever since I was a kid, but over the last few years, my hair has been falling out so much. Now, it's not only thinning but also turned from black to brown. Plus, there are these red bumps and a lot of dandruff on my scalp. I'm not sure what could be causing all this. Could you help me understand what's happening and what I can do about it?
