Suggest Treatment For Severe Hair Loss

Hi Doc. I am a 30-year old woman and lately I ve noticed my hairfall to be far more than normal. I visited a dermat, who advised me to use a hair growth supporting cream every day, along with a Revilus hair supplement tablet in the morning and some other medication. I usually am pretty healthy. Could there be an underlying reason behind this sudden hairloss? We ve literally lived in 3 different cities in the last 4 months - is frequent travel and water change a contributor?

Hi,

Probably you may be having telogen effluvium.. It may be due to some cause. There are so many causes.Most common cause is psychological upsets like anxiety,worries, tension or depression. And other causes may be thyroid dysfunction, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, anaemia, other internal diseases,drugs..etc. You are exposed to different enviormental areas at intervals,that might contribute. Stress related with different areas can cause such problem.

And remember that normal hair fall in adult may be 100 to 150 per day. So, please avoid anxiety related with hair fall.

You consulted dermatologist.Please have Blood tests to rule out internal diseases,if not done. You may follow your doctor.. I would like to suggest..

-You may take biotin 10 mg tablets for long time.
-Cap vitamin E 400 mg may be taken.
-You may apply mild steroid lotion like beclomethasone lotion on scalp at night.
-Mild herbal shampoo to cleanse the scalp alternate days.
-Any hair oil like almond oil as hair oil may be used.
-Have patience for the result.

I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
