Suggest Remedy For Hair Loss

I am experiencing hair loss over the last couple months. This has happened before. Generally in late summer or early fall. Worse when I was my hair. I have thick hair normally but this hair loss is becoming alarming. I m a 62 year old female in good general health.

Hi,

You seem to have condition called telogen effluvium. You consult the dermatologist for the firm diagnosis and perfect treatment. There may be some cause like stress,fever,thyroid diseases,anaemia and other blood disorders..

You may follow as below....

- removal or treatment of the cause
- biotin 10 mg daily
- if needed,iron and vitamins
- keep the mind cool
- apply mild steroid lotion on the scalp daily at night
- herbal shampoo may be used...if dandruff is there,shampoo with ketoconazole containing shampoo.
- almond oil may be used to oil the hairs.

I hope this would help you.

Thanks.

Dr. Ilyas Patel MD
