Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing a severe dandruff issue and thinning hair. Dandruff is a common condition that can be caused by various factors such as dry skin, oily skin, fungal infections, or sensitivity to hair care products. It is important to maintain good hair hygiene and use the right hair care products to manage dandruff. The hairgen tablet and alotin oil prescribed by your dermatologist may help to improve the condition of your hair and scalp. As for the mx2 serum, it is important to note that it was prescribed specifically for your mother's excessive hair loss and may not necessarily be appropriate for your dandruff issue. I recommend discussing your hair concerns with your dermatologist to determine the best treatment plan for your specific condition. In addition to medication, it is also important to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle, as well as using gentle hair care products and avoiding excessive heat styling or chemical treatments, which can damage your hair and exacerbate dandruff. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns. It is important to seek medical attention for hair and scalp issues to prevent further damage and ensure proper treatment.
