Excess hairfall in Chunks

2017-06-11 14:21:00
My hair has been falling out in Chunks and I also have receding hairline. I am.using Minoxidil to solve receding hairline issue for the past 9 months, but in vain. I am shedding hair at a rate of minimum 1000 -1500 strands per day. I have gone bald in my forehead area already and I think at this rate I might completely go bald. What should I do?

It might not be androgenic alopecia. This amount of hair.loss is not seen in androgenic alopecia and minoxidil is use to treat it. You are having acute telogen effluvium where hairloss is very rapid and profuse. Please send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment advice.
