Suggest Treatment For Hair Fall

My hair has been falling out a lot during shower and when it dries out. Whenever I massage my head, my hair would come out few strands at a time whenever I run my fingers through my hair, then it stops when there s none to come out. I take 2,000 mcg biotin a day including multi-vitamins as needed. Could it be my hormone is going away as I m in my 50....or, is it b/c of my diet although I do eat healthy foods/drinks in good small portions. I use good cleansing conditioners without sulfates/parabens/etcetera. I haven t used any shampoo for the past year and half or so. Is is b/c of my liver or kidney that s causing hair fall out? I m aware that it s normal for hair to shed 100 strands a day, but I have fine hair and not thick or anything.....so, it s a lot of hair coming out every day for me to have a concern. Sometimes, I think my hair sheds at least 200 strands/day. Please advice.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi.
As per your case history of hair fall my treatment advice is -
1. It may be hormonal as well as genetic as per your age.
2. Use a simple coconut oil for hair and use mild herbal shampoo.
Avoid using conditioner at present.
3. Take a iron supplement and vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
4. Start minoxidil 2% lotion twice daily.

If problem persists beyond 3 months then you can consult a dermatologist.

Thanks.
