Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history of hairfall, my treatment advice is -

1. Use a good herbal hair oil and shampoo for routine use.
2. Apply a minoxidil 2 %solution twice daily on scalp.
3. Take a Supradyn tablet and Folimax-12 tablet once daily for 3 months. If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
