Can dandruff cause hair fall?

Yes, I have been facing crazy hair fall lately along with a very itchy, flaky scalp. It is making me so worried. Has anyone else experienced this much hair fall just because of dandruff, or should I be looking into other reasons?

Dandruff can cause temporary hair fall due to an inflamed scalp. Along with using a medicated shampoo, getting some regular cardio or a daily walk helps improve blood circulation to the hair follicles, which keeps them healthy.

Personally, my hair shedding increases significantly whenever my dandruff flares up during winters. Once I get the dandruff under control using an anti-fungal shampoo, my hair fall stops completely. It's definitely connected in my case.

Listen, dandruff makes your scalp itchy, and when you scratch it constantly, you weaken the hair roots and cause hair fall. Stop scratching your head and start using a good ketoconazole shampoo twice a week.

Dude, totally. Every time I scratch my head during lectures, like five hairs fall on my notebook because of this annoying dandruff. It's super frustrating but my doc said the hair will grow back once the scalp clears up.

I totally get it, seeing your hair fall out while dealing with an itchy scalp is so disheartening. Don't worry too much, as this type of hair loss is usually temporary. Once you treat the dandruff, your hair roots will recover.
