Suggest Treatment For Severe Hair Fall

Hi! I have just moved to a new city, where the weather is dry and cold. I have short hair and I've noticed a sudden acceleration in my hair fall rate. I use some hair styling products, but I have been using these products for years now and they've never before had any adverse effect on my hair. My hair has also become very limp. Please suggest a way out.

Hi,

Probably you may be having telogen effluvium.. There may be some cause. Most common cause is psychological upsets like anxiety,worries,tension or depression. Other causes may thyroid dysfunction, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, anaemia, other internal diseases,drugs..etc. Dandruff is also important cause for your hairloss.

Remember daily normal hair fall is about 100 hairs. So please avoid anxiety related with hair fall.

You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. Blood investigations may be done to find out some other internal cause.

You may take biotin 10 mg tablets for long time.
And vitamin E cap 400 mg may be taken.
You may apply mild steroid lotion like beclomethasone lotion on scalp at night.
Mild herbal shampoo may be used to cleanse the scalp.
Almond oil may be applied in hairs to improve the shaft quality.
Have patience for the result. I hope you got my answer.

I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
