Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.

As per your complain hair fall can occur due to a number of causes like hormonal causes causing Androgenic Alopecia that is also genetic, nutritional deficiency, excessive stress causing Telogen Effluvium , long standing illness, side effects of drugs, cosmetics etc..

I would suggest you to consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and he can advise you to go for blood tests like Complete blood picture, thyroid profile, blood sugar etc..
He can also advise you to go for investigations like Trichogram and Dermoscopy..

He can advise you to apply Minoxidil 5% lotion over the scalp..
He can advise you to take multivitamin supplements and Biotin supplements..
In case of Androgenic Alopecia he can also advise you to take oral Finesteride..
Take a nutritious diet and massage your scalp with warm coconut oil..
Keep the scalp clean and wash your hairs every alternate day with a mild shampoo..
Drink plenty of water..



Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
