Hairfall since a month

Question

Asked for Female, 19 Years

I have been noticing hairfall since a month. Whenever i wash my hair i loose around 200 hair stands and on any other day i loose 100-150 hair strands. I went for a test of thyroid and it came negative. Hemoglobin is also fine. The doctor said it is normal/seasonal hairfall. I'm really confuses that is it really normal to loose this much hair?

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,
