Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query.Hair fall can be of different cause. It can be due to anemia or hypothyroidism.So Hemoglobin in blood and thyroid profile should be done to rule out that.It can also be due to androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hairloss).This type of hair loss you will have frontal and crown baldness.In such case minoxidil lotion and finasteride therapy will help.Hair loss can also be due to dandruff from fungal infections or from scalp psoriasis.In fungal infections ketoconazole lotions or shampoo will help.In scalp psoriasis salicylic acid shampoo and coal tar shampoo will be helpful.It is better to have a dermatologist consultation to rule out the type of hair loss and start treatment.You should also keep in mind that hair loss treatment is a long term treatment.With short term you wont get any benefits.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
