Hair Loss: Vitamin e and ketocanazole shampoo treat seborrheic dermatitis not hair loss. The treatment of hair loss depends on the cause. Male or female pattern hair loss can be treated with Minoxidil 5% twice a day. For men there is also propecia. For alopecia areata we use kenalog (triamcinolone) injections every four weeks. For telogen effluvium we use B12 shots once a month.
