How Do I Prevent Hereditary Hair Fall?

Hello Sir, I have a hereditary problem of baldness and being a female, hairfall is something that really worries me. In consultation with a dermatologist, I was earlier taking Keraglo Eva tabs and Topsor for my scalp, though I do not have any infection there. I ve used the supplements off and on, mostly regularly for a long time now. Every year, there are times that the hairfall increases tremendously and sometimes, they feel much better. However, there seems to be no fixed pattern for the hairfall, or maybe I m not able to narrow it to a particular time. Now for the past 2-3 weeks, my hair are falling like a pack of cards! Everytime I brush my hands through them, EVERY single time strands of hair will fall out. Washing hair is becoming a nightmare to watch! I have practically only a bunch of hair left on my head and I m desperate to stop the fall. Please help.

In my opinion, you are suffering from a condition called Alopecia areata. Continue the treatment as per your Dermatologist's advice. You should rule out any underlying thyroid disease. Also, you can add Minoxidil after consultation with your Dermatologist.
