My hair is also thinning at an alarming rate.
And my hair breaks easily.
Does oiling hair help?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

You seem to have telogen effluvium.. There may be some cause. Most common cause is psychological upsets like anxiety,worries,tension or depression. Other causes may be thyroid dysfunction, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, anaemia, any other blood disease,other internal diseases,drugs,bad habit of smoking or tobbacco chewing..etc

You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. Blood investigations may be done to find out some internal cause. If any cause is found,treat the cause.

You may take biotin containing tablets for long time along with vitamin E cap. You may apply mild steroid lotion like beclomethasone lotion on scalp at night. Mild herbal shampoo and almond oil may be used. Have patience for the result. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
