Hello I'm Dr Sharon,

I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
The hair fall is a condition which can be caused by numerous factors.
The first thing is your family history.If you are a male,your testosterone(male hormone) level has an effect on hair and can lead to alopecia and baldness.75 % of the baldness falls in this category.
There is a Lotion called Minoxidil which can be applied on your scalp everyday and it will cause new hairs to grow in the bald areas.

There are two treatable causes of baldness.One is the presence of fungal infections like dandruff.They can be effectively removed by using shampoos containing Selenium sulfide or Ketoconazole.
Another treatable cause is Vitamin deficiency and Stress.

So the best thing is to visit a Skin specialist and let him have a look at your scalp.He can determine the type of alopecia and he will give you the necessary medications.

Wishing you Good Health.
