Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sudden hair fall which can occur due to stress, systemic factors, improper hygiene, fungal infection and could be due to hormonal changes.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you start with the application of Indian gooseberries. Do massage scalp twice a week with olive oil. Avoid excessive use of shampoos rich in chemicals. Take finasteride preparations as well. You should consult dermatologist once for proper examination. The doctor may order skin patch test, blood test, allergic test and physical examination and may prescribe supplements like Omega-3 minoxidil spray, and Vitamin E.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
