What should I do if my hair is falling out due to dandruff?

Dandruff itself shouldn’t cause hair loss. However, the reasons for dandruff can lead to itching and excessive scratching which can damage hair follicles leading to hair loss. It’s best to consult with a medical provider to determine if the problem is just a dry scalp, seborrheic dermatitis or an overgrowth of a common fungus. By addressing the underlying reason for dandruff should help stop the hair loss.
