I compelted the course but the hairfall still continues. The scalp gets itchy if i dont have a hair shower alternatively. I was anemic 4 months back. Havent checked it again. Please suggest what to do. My hair has reduced to one fourth. Getting really worried now.

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, 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 send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription
