I am facing hairfall for last 3-4 months. Last month i showed to a doctor. He prescribed me sebowash shampoo and tressglow tablets. He asked me to use this for one month. Still after one month hairfall is not stopping. I dont have thyroid. I am afraid I will have to eat steroids. Can someone guide me please if it is safe to eat steroids.
