Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have excessive hair fall . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like genetic factor , fungal infection , covering head with cap and hormonal changes . Stress can also cause different type of hair loss alopecia areata , telogen effluvium and trichotillomania . I would suggest you to consult trichologist for proper examination . Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test and physical examination . Doctor may prescribe you drug like finpecia at least for 3-4 months , because it take time to work or anti fungal treatment along with minoxidil spray which has to b apply on scalp directly . Doctor may also prescribe supplements like Omega-3 and Vitamin E . Doctor may also recommend hair transplant with HUE technique . Take Indian goose berry powder with water once a day and use almond oil
