Suggest Remedy For Hairfall

Hi , in the last two months once the rain has started I am experiencing hairfall. When I open my hair atleast 3-4 just come out in my hand n when I comb it...10-20 jus come out. Where I live , water is hard n lots of people r facing hairfall but personally I havent seen such happening. also I notice small white bulbs on the end of fallen hair. I have always had scanty hair on the scalp but quite bouncy but now they have become oily n fall out easily. I am quite depressed

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

Perhaps you have Telogen Effluvium wherein there is a transient increase in hair shedding due to shift in the hair cycle from growth phase (Anagen) to resting phase (Telogen). I suggest you to take an oral Iron supplement once a day as well as an oral Biotin supplement for a few weeks. You may also use a hair growth stimulant, e.g., Minoxidil 5% solution, twice daily for a few weeks.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kakkar S.
