What Is Causing Hair Loss?

Hi I am 29 years old last year i had lot of hair fall when consulted doctor he suggested using Hair4u Lotion. Since 1 year i am using it and now again the severe hairloss has started is it because the lotion is not being effective now does these lotions have a time frame which would make them ineffective on the hair.

Hi,

It may be telogen effluvium or androgenetic alopecia. You have not mentioned your gender. Believing that you are male, it is likely to be androgenetic alopecia. You may apply minoxidil 10% sol twice a day with oral finesteride 1 mg daily for few years.

If you are female, most probably it may be telogen effluvium. There may be some cause like anaemia,vitamin deficiencies,thyroid dysfunction,stress or some internal disease. I would recommend to take tab biotin 10 mg thrice a day for long time with mild steroid lotion application daily at night. Mild shampoo may be done alternate days.

Thanks.
