Hairfall in a 21 year old female
I am having increased hairfall since 3 months. No thyroid problem or iron deficiency. I have dandruff. I shampoo every alternate day due to a oily scalp and use a good shampoo conditioner and serum. I also oil my hair once a week. I am taking biotin and iron supplements but there is no change. Hair volume is reducing. Since last week the hairfall has increased even more and I am losing 50 strands everyday. Whereas 3 months back I hardly lost 10 a day. Please help.

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.
