Hi,

As per your complain hairfall can occur due to a number of causes like Androgenic Aloepecia caused due to sensitivity of hair follicles to androgenic hormones and genetics. While other causes comes under Telogen Efluvium caused by fungal infection, nutritional deficiency, stress, long standing illness, and side effects of medicines.

You should consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and he can advise you investigations like hormonal assay, blood tests, trichogram, dermoscopy to rule out the exact cause of the problem and treat you accordingly. You can be advised to apply 5% Minoxidil lotion over the scalp. You can be advised to take Biotin and multivitamin supplements.

You can also be advised to take Finesteride orally if there is androgenic aloepecia as it suppresses androgens. You should massage the scalp with warm coconut oil. You should take a nutritious diet and drink plenty of water. You can also discuss about platelet rich plasma and Mesotherapy.

Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks and regards,
Dr. Honey Nandwani Arora
