Hairfall/baldness
Hi, Am 29yr female and 3 months pregnant. Recently I observed saviour hairfall and also front portion(forehead) is becoming bald. In my early age like around 17 yrs I suffered from alopeccia later it got cleared after consulting dermatologist and again when I was 26 yes old suffered from alopeccia not seviour but there was big patch. Now again hairloss, recently I consulted dermatologist and they suggested me folliserum for regrowth and said that it is common for few women when they conceive.
But I'm more worried about my hair and skin. Please suggest me what to do in this case
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 call me or send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription.
