Suggest Treatment For Hairfall
Question: Hi
I witness huge hair-fall from my head.
Upon searching for good shampoo, I see that all hair-fall reduction shampoos are for 'hairfall fue to breakage'. I see that my hair loss is not due to breakage but because of complete detachment of hair follicles.
1. Please suggest a good remedy and which shampoo to use that addresses this problem(and not hair-fall due to breakage)
2. In case I've to approach a specialist, under which specialty does this fall under?
Thank You.

Brief Answer:
See a dermatologist
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Treatment of hairfall depends on the cause. If it androgenic, male pattern baldness you will need minoxidil 5% solution. If it is autoimmune then you will need steroid injections. If it is due to dandruff, then it needs to be taken care of. Thus a dermatologist will be able to examine you and provide you proper treatment.
Regarding shampoo, you can use any routine shampoo that has less of chemicals.
Parachute scalp therapie oil has some vitamins and is also good. Oral biotin tablets in the dose of 10 mg a day will also help.
Hope it helps.
