Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
I appreciate your concern regarding hair fall. Hair fall is usually ascribed to multiple factors like diet and nutrition, hormones, stress, acute or chronic medical conditions,drugs,cosmetic products etc.
From your description, it seems you might be having Telogen Effluvium, which is hairfall secondary to stress which in your case is the influence of pregnancy. Pregnancy and lactation are highly demanding states and are common reasons for acute hairfall.
If i were your dermatologist/trichologist, i would like to recommend some basic investigations like CBC,blood sugar,Thyroid function test, vitamin B12 and D3.Some other special investigations like trichogram and dermoscopy and further aid in diagnosis and prognosis.
I would suggest you a course of oral tablets containing biotin and other essential vitamins and minerals for minimum 3 months. Also, would put you on a hair serum containing peptides for hair growth at night.(Q sera etc).
I would advise use of gentle shampoo and conditioner on regular basis and use of coconut oil twice a week.
Also enquire from your dermatologist about upcoming treatment options like mesotherapy and platelet-rich plasma.
Avoid combing in wet hair and let them dry by wrapping in towel. Avoid blow dryers and hair-color/dyes. Take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet and try to de-stress your routine life.
Hope your queries are resolved and wish you best of health.
Thank you
Dr Hardik Pitroda
