Hi,

Hair fall can occur due to a number of causes like Androgenic Alopecia that is one of the most common causes in men.

Other causes are a fungal infection, nutritional deficiency, stress, long-standing illness, side effects of medicines.

VB7 can be taken if there is biotin deficiency and helps in improving hair growth and reducing hair fall.

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 Finasteride orally if there is androgenic alopecia 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 platelet-rich plasma and Mesotherapy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Honey Arora, Dentist
