Hairfall and dry scalp.

2016-12-28 11:57:20
I'm having continuous hair fall since a year and now it's getting worse. I have dry scalp. I do oil it sometimes but I don't really get much time. I also have thyroid but hair falls even when it's under control. My hair falls off from the roots most of the time. Please help.

Kindly consult through Practo direct and share the investigation reports of thyroid profile and hemogram.
