Losing hair at the speed of light

2017-11-27 07:29:22
For the last few years my hair has been thinning gradually, especially around the crown area. I have lost enough hair for my scalp to be visible to anyone. As of late, my hair fall has tripled with everytime I touch my hair I lose about 7-8 strands. I'm starting to see a visible difference in the volume of my hair especially on my crown. Please help me. Thank you.

There are many reasons for hair fall. 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. Please call me or send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription
