Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am Dr. Kakkar (Dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.

I would like to gather more information from you in order to be able to guide you better regarding your problem.

Since when have you noticed increased hair loss?
Is there any preceding medical history of major illness, significant weight loss, surgery, pregnancy etc prior to the onset of hair loss?
Is there any history of thyroid disorder?
Any family history of hair loss in father,mother, siblings etc?
Do you also notice thinning of hair and widened part width?

Brief Answer:
Remedy for hair fall

Detailed Answer:
thank you.

I will keep a possibility of either Androgenetic Alopecia Or chronic Telogen effluvium. Both forms can coexist together although thinning is more a feature of Androgenetic alopecia..
I suggest you to use Minoxidil 5% solution ,1ml, on scalp, twice daily.
You may also take a biotin supplement once daily e.g Tab Revilus Or Tab. H Vit forte.
I would suggest a few basic investigations like serum ferritin levels, vitamin D levels and Vitamin B12 levels. If found deficient they need to be supplemented accordingly.
These are prescription medications and you must use them under supervision. and regular follow up of a doctor.

Regards
