Hair loss & dandruff problem
Hi, I've been facing dandruff problem from a long time now and it has increased with time. I've also observed that I'm loosing my hair and the scalp is slightly visible now.
No family history as such of baldness. I live in Bangalore the water here is not good for hair and also I do lots of traveling specially in bike. Could regular use of helmet be the reason. I had been very irregular in terms of my eating habits but from last six months I've not skipped my food as well took my meal on time.
Heard of indulekha Ayurvedic oil, is it worth trying. Need suggestions. Thank you so much in advance.

You are suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts receeding from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. It is usually accompanied by severe dandruff which we call seborrhoea. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is the best. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects of DHT on the hair roots. Please call me or contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment. Do not start treatment without consulting. I can give guidance and then you can continue treatment on your own.,,
