I'm 21. I have curly hair and hairfall issues. And I have oily scalp that produces greasy dandruff. I have to shampoo my hair once in 2 days, otherwise it gets oily and itchy. Tried ketoconazole and coal tar shampoo. Didn't work. Consulted a doctor. She gave me some tablets and tea tree oil. Tried the tablets for about a month. Didn't seem to work. I'm also skinny. So, it could be deficiency in some vitamins. And also, my family doesn't have oily scalp or hairfall issues. So, will PRP work for me?
