You should ask your doctor if he meant ketoconazole stay on lotion or ketoconazole shampoo. Usually shampoos are labelled as lotion - you just need to check the base of it is a shampoo base or lotion base. If you have dandruff then this lotion will help in decreasing the dandruff and thereby hairfall.

You may need to add few therapies like mesotherapy or prp if it's not improving, sometimes hormonal analysis along with other medications with blood tests may be needed.
