Suggest Remedies For Severe Hair Loss

I have had a hair problem for over a year, started with my hair falling out, and thinning. Months later my scalps become very dry, when it was always oily. Now I have white dots stuck to my hair shaft. I have been using shampoos for hair thinning, I use bosely and Nixon. I am not sure what to do. My hair falls out with a white ball or something at the end. Help !!!!!!!

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe hair loss which can occur due to many reasons like nutritional deficiencies, systemic conditions, compromised immunity of body, genetic factor , fungal infection and hormonal changes. In your case it seems mainly due to fungal infection.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to mainatin complete hygiene and take biotin supplements. Take Indian goose berry powder with water once a day and use olive for massage. You should consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test and physical examination. Keep your scalp dry. Doctor may prescribe you drug like finpecia at least for 3-4 months or anti fungal treatment along with minoxidil spray . Doctor may also prescribe supplements like Vitamin A ,Omega-3 and Vitamin E.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
