Hi,

Understanding your concern. As per your query, you have symptoms of hair loss which could be due to genetic causes and it could be due to environmental factors.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you consult dermatologist once and get it examined. Go for ferritin, hemoglobin, thyroid, and other tests and then start treatment accordingly. If it is genetic then hair transplant is the only best option. You should keep your hair massaged to increase blood circulation. Apply Minoxidil on hair follicles and take Finasteride preparations as well for hair loss.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
