Brief Answer:
hair fall and causes

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have read your query and understood your concern.

Recent onset hair fall can be due to number of reasons like acute illness in last 6 months, anaemia, thyroid dysfunction, poor nutritional intake etc.
I would advise you following investigations :
1 ) hemoglobin levels
2 ) thyroid profile

I would like to know the following details :
1 ) any history of medical or surgical illness in past 6 months
2) how is your diet?

Kindly reply to my questions and attach reports of above mentioned investigations so that I can help you to my best.
Stay healthy.

Brief Answer:
tab follihair once daily

Detailed Answer:
If so, you need not to repeat thyroid test.
stress is one big reason for hair loss.

I usually advice my such patients to take tab follihair once daily for atleast a month.
We as dermatologists do npt advice any kind of hair oil application.
You may use any mild shampoo for head wash.

kindly get back to me with hemoglobin report.
I hope I am able to solve your query.
Stay healthy.

Hi mam Thanks for replying. My hemoglobin is 14.3. My hair breaks from root even if I touch with fingers. Are oils useful? And should I go for ayurvedic home remedies?
