Hello Pruthvik Hair loss in patches along with itching indicates an infected scalp. It is most probably the infection which is causing the hair loss. You have this problem since 5 years which is quite a long time. It is important that you avoid touching your scalp in the patches and avoid oil altogether. Also please either send me a picture of ur patches or get ur self examined to check for damage to hair roots in the infected area. Usually in long standing infections the hair roots get damaged leaving very little scope for regrowth. Will need more information to guide you better.
