How To Stop Hair Loss?
Dear Dr,
My name is Prasanth, 24 years old male from India. I have my sad story to tell about hair fall. I have been losing hair since I was 16 years. I have tried several treatments to control it. But nothing could cure it. In my family no one has such type of hair loss. I have high sebum production in my scalp and face. I have no pimples in my face. But in my scalp, I get slight yellowish/ whitish waxy balls and maybe it would be attached to the roots of each fallen hairs. It’s all over in my scalp. New born hairs also fall out like this. I am losing 150 hairs in a single day. What do I do? Will new hairs come back in the place of fallen hairs which had been lost because of excess sebum? Please explain dear doctor. I am so worried about that. Thanks

Hi!
"Welcome to Healthcaremagic. com.
I have read your query in detail and do understand your concern.
Excessive hair fall can be due to male pattern baldness, physical or mental stress, anaemia or nutritional deficiency or certain medical conditions like thyroid disorders, low serum ferritin etc.
Take a nutritious and protein rich diet(pulses, milk products, eggs).
Avoid routine application of gels or frequent blow drying of your hair.
Use a sulfate free shampoo for your hair twice a week.
Minoxidil 5% lotion can be applied over the affected area twice daily.
Biotin containing hair supplements can be taken for 3-6 months.
ketokonazole based shampoo can be used for treating dandruff ."
