Brief Answer: hair fall and causes Detailed Answer: Hello dear, Welcome to healthcaremagic. I have read your query and understood your concern. Hair fall can be due to number of reasons. I will like to know the following details: 1 ) your blood hemoglobin levels. 2) thyroid profile. 3) history of recent illness in past 3 months. 4) dandruff in hair , if yes , which shampoo are you using ? 5) any physical or mental stress? 6) is the hair loss diffuse or in certain pattern ? If the above mentioned causes are one of the reasons, that should be treated first. kindly get back to me with reply of the above questions so that I can help you to my best. And in case the hair loss is in particular pattern, kindly send the pic of the area involved as the treatment for that would be different. Good luck.

Brief Answer: apply hair serum like XXXXXXX XL Detailed Answer: Hello dear, Welcome again. If your hemoglobin comes out to be normal, then you can take supplements like calcium pantothenate, selenium, biotin available in market with various brands like folihair, xtin forte etc. Additionally , i usually advise my patients to apply hair serum like XXXXXXX XL in night time weekly twice on scalp. Dandruff also causes hair fall to some extent. If your dandruff is under control with nizral shampoo, you may continue using it . It will further lessen the hair loss. You need to continue these medications for atleast 3 months for good and appreciable results. I hope it helps. If you have further query , you may ask me. Else you may kindly close the discussion and rate it. Stay healthy.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
