Tremendous hair fall, extreme dandruff
I am suffering from extreme hair fall, so much so that if I just touch my hair, min 10 strands fall from the roots. I lose upto 1000-1500 strands a day. And double of that if I am oiling and shampooing. The volume of my hair has reduced to 1/4th of what it was before. Not sure if I should treat the problem from inside(any deficiency) or just apply serums/gels on the outside(scalp) What kind of treatment can help this?
I am also suffering from PCOS since 5 years. But never had this hair fall issue.

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, pcos usually causes female pattern baldness.
