Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain hairfall can occur due to a number of causes like:

-Androgenic Aloepecia caused due to sensitivity of hair follicles to androgenic hormones and genetics..

-Telogen Efluvium caused by fungal infection,nutritional deficiency, stress, long standing illness, side effects of medicines..

Formation of white acne like thing at the base of hair can be due to infection in the hair follicle also known as Folliculitis..

You should consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and he can advise you investigations like hormonal assy, blood tests, trichogram, dermoscopy to rule out the exact cause of the problem and treat you accordingly..
You can be advised to apply 5% Minoxidil lotion over the scalp..
For infection in hair follicles topical application of antibiotic and steroid lotions can be advised..
You can be advised to take Biotin and multivitamin supplements..
You can also be advised to take Finesteride orally if there is androgenic alopecia as it suppresses androgens..
You should massage the scalp with warm coconut oil..
You should take a nutritious diet and drink plenty of water..

You can also discuss about platelet rich plasma and Mesotherapy while if there is major baldness hair transplant can be an option or you can go for removable hair prosthesis..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
