Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Hair fall is multifactorial: change of place/ weather changes/ erratic lifestyle / stress / poor nutrition / dandruff etc to name a few. In your case looks like change of place / stress / lifestyle and poor nutrition could be the cause. Start applying Minoxidil 5% every night on your scalp for a minimum of 8-9 months to see a response which will be new hair growth. Secondly start taking a multivitamin with biotin in it daily. Thirdly, work on your nourished food intake too.

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

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Loss of more than 100 hairs a day is significant hair loss. If your hair loss is significant, you check for dandruff. If you have dandruff, do daily scalp wash with ketoconazole shampoo. If have significant hair loss and do not have dandruff, please apply Minoxidil solution. Do consult your family physician/dermatologist, if you have an allergy to minoxidil.

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