Suggest Remedy For Excess Hair Fall
Hello doctor I am facing tremendous hairfall /hair thinning/ hair loss in a period of 2-3 months but in last one month it seems like it has massively reduced and looks very scanty.I have a combination scalp and hair is dry. It's wavy and frizzy though I got it straightened two years back and on and off I use dryers/straightener st home. Regularly go for hair spa but off late I am scared of going for spa or even combing my hair or washing because of the hair loss. My scalp seems to have become sensitive .
Please suggest a remedy.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of excessive hair fall which can occur due to a number of causes like nutritional deficiency, stress, fungal infection, hormonal imbalances like thyroid disorders, while genetics and androgenic hormones can also be a cause leading to male pattern baldness. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply 2% Minoxidil lotion over the scalp. You should take combination of multivitamin, amino acids and mineral supplements. Take more of green leafy vegetables and fruits in diet. Visit dermatologist once and get complete examination done and start treatment after complete examination. You should keep massaging the scalp twice a week with warm coconut oil.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
