Taking alot of meds. hair is damaged - dry/brittle/oily(need to wash daily/dandruff. does this cause skin allergies? this is the 5th time in 5 mths

See dermatologist: First consider changing the shampoo or conditioner which may be too irritating for your scalp. Iron deficiency can cause hair loss as well. Since the names of medications are not given, you need to look for potential side effects from the medications also. It'd be a good idea for you to consult a dermatologist.
