Increase of hair fall
Good evening doctor.
I'm having hair fall since I've come to Bangalore which is 10-12 years but it was still bearable but since 3 years hair fall has increased and I can now see widening of partion esp in the crown region,I had started minoxidil 5 percent last year and continued for 5 months before quiting it,I don't know if new hair grew or not but hair fall didn't reduce after 2 months of using it . So I discontinued ...now again hair fall have started since 2 months,I might be loosing something around 100-200 hair per day. Kindly suggest what to do.
Apart from hairfall,I have no systemic condition,thyroid levels are fine,no pcods
