I have a lot of itching in my scalp from the last 7-8 years and also dandruff, and due to scratching I am losing hair. I have tried all sorts of remedies for dandruff but nothing has helped. Once I was told by some doctor that I am suffering from Rosacea. Could this be the reason for the itching in my scalp? Is there any remedy to it?

Although rosacea can lead to itching in the scalp, in your situation, seborrhic dermatitis is the chief cause for scalp itching. You need to start using 2% ketoconazole shampoo alternate days with 5 minutes of contact time under expert guidance. It will definitely help with dandruff.
