Hairfall problem
Dear Doctors, From past 2 months Iam having a lot of hairfall, even when I touch my scalp I can find 2-3 strands of hair, & my left side of scalp has lost some hair & had become little thinner compared to my right side of scalp. As per my knowledge no one in my family had this baldness problem, except my grandfather who had got this in his 60s. Iam really worried about this & seriously doubt whether I would get this baldness. Plz help me in this regard & provide me a solution to prevent this hair loss.

Hi there....I can understand your concern. Thin hair, hair fall could be due to many reasons like hereditary, stress, thyroid disorders, anemia, pcod, recent fever, vitamin deficiency, seborrhic capitis. You will require detailed clinical examination and further investigations. So kindly consult nearby dermatologist for further evaluation. Conservatively at home, don't use hot water while having head bath. Use only lukewarm water. While drying your hair, don't scrub too much or use hair dryer. Just pad with towel.
