White patch is possibly vitiligo. Do you hv de pigmented or just hypopigmented patch? Vitiligo will be totally depigmented. N is there any scaling. In case of vitiligo these creams won't help you. For better advice please consult with photographs.

Hello lybrate-user
I completely understand your concern. Fungal infection is spreading very fast these days.
First of all try not to switch so many medications very fast.
Continue one medicine for atleast 3 months.
Adopt a few lifestyle changes like- keeping the affected area dry, wearing loose clothes, applying normal powder 3-4 times a day, avoid jeans etc.
For prescription, you may start an online consult because I will have to ask you a few questions and see your photo be...more

Use a mild shampoo n conditioner after ketoconazole shampoo. Will reduce the dryness. Can use livon lotion on hair strands to reduce dryness. Unfortunate ketoconazole does dry hair.

Moreover, dandruff is something which is not just external but is linked to your diet, horm...more

Hi!
hair loss can be due to various reasons, genetic, hormonal, nutritional, dandruff, stress ,pollution etc. We have to examine the scalp to know the reason for hair loss. Moreover, dandruff is something which is not just external but is linked to your diet, hormones etc. Usually, from the age of puberty to adulthood, oil glands will be very active and can cause repeated inflammation. So, dandruff can be controlled in this age group and not cured completely. Use ketoconozole containing sham...more

I was diagnosed telogen effluvium by a&nbsp; dermatologist on 21 september 2016. My hairloss started around 20 august 2016. I shedded for 7-10 days&nbsp; and then it stopped on its own. I was going through a rough time in my life so I realised it after a week that my hair is falling in excess amount. I went to a dermatologist who diagnosed it as TE. I was highly depressed about my hairloss at the time I went to the doctor. She gave me tugain 2% to use for 21 days. Tugain has 2% minodoxil w/v and 63% absolute alcohol v/v. The doctor did not tell me how to use it. I read the prescription which stated not to use more than one ml in single application. Since my hairloss was diffuse I wondered how to use just one ml on the entire scalp. This was my biggest mistake. I used the medicine for 7-8 days and within 7-8 days I finished two bottles each of 60 ml. I feel so dumb. I used it in huge amounts. I stopped using it after 7-8 days since it was causing dandruff flakes on my scalp. 12 days after stopping tugain I started to shed gain in huge amounts for 4-5 days. Within 4-5 days I lost about 15% of my hair density. I called the doctor who prescribed me tugain, she said that hairloss is temporary and stop using tugain and then continue again after some while. I could not say her much because it was my mistake as I did not read the prescription. <br> The base contained absolute alcohol which I read on the internet is a harmful agent. I am so scared right now. Have I killed my hairfollicles by using it excessively? It has been more than a month since I used the medicine and hairloss occurred, I am. Afraid my follicles were damaged hence my hair fell out and now they are destroyed by now.

Generally hair comes back after such incidents but there's a possibility that you might have caused more damage than visible. U should go Prp therapy asap.
