See doctor 2 examine: You will need to see a doctor to identify the cause of both the itching, and the hair loss. This is difficult to do without us a physical examination of your scalp. It could be many things, which is why it needs to be identified. This could be more than dandruff. It could also be a form of fungal infection on the scalp, or related to thyroid, or inflammatory. Shampoos, coloring solutions could be too harsh.
