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.

Yes, hair loss is very common after delivery due to hormonal change. Do nor worry. It will normalize in few months. However, we can start you on some hair supplement and serum. Please contact a dermatologust either directly or by online consultation

Your age is showing as 92 years . I don’t think it’s right. Please correct your details because many health problems are related to age.
Post delivery the hair loss is called telogen effluvium which happens with everyone. So there is nothing to worry
Just take a healthy diet and be stress free
