What is treatment for dandruff and alopecia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Different answers: Only dermatologists can answer you both. In general, right kind of (medicated) shampoos is the first step for dandruff control. For alopecia, you probably mean hair loss not in any particular form, try rogain first.
