I am a 32 yrs old female with dandruff and severe hair loss. i was prescribed flucinonide .05% soln, minoxidil 5% foam. will it cause more hair loss?

No: The dandruff itself can cause hair loss if not treated. Minoxidil is one of the only treatments that has been proven to increase hair growth in female pattern hair loss.
