Hairfall at an alarming rate
I am having hair fall at alarming rate for the past 2 weeks. My skin has become more sensitive which was not before. I usually shampoo on alternate days due to the pollution outside. Now it's like I will have no hair on my scalp after few days!

We need to 1st control the excess shedding and then focus on the regrowth of hair. Hair treatment is a slow process and it takes a few months for the density to improve again. If you want to start with the medical treatment you can get in touch with me through online consultation so that I can send you the prescription. hope this is helpful.

There are many reasons for hairfall or thinning of hair on the scalp. So first and foremost we have to find the cause with the help of detailed history and examination. Some of the common causes are nutritional deficiency, hormonal causes like androgenic alopecia or patterned baldness, hypothyroidism, telogen effluvium etc. Unless we find and treat the cause there is no point in giving non specific treatment. Oils or shampoos do not have any effect on hair growth as they are not absorbed in the skin. Moreover, you should never self treat with anything. Please send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription.

Hair fall has multifactorial etiology.Stress, diet , genetic and hormones play important part in causing the hair fall.Young female would see hair fall because of iron deficiency or some micro nutritional deficiency.
It’s also important to understand that losing few hair per day is normal as hair go through specific hair cycle and new follicle would emerge in place of fallen hair . Before you start with any treatment do visit a dermatologist or consult online with us.
