Hello,

I can understand you concern for problem of hair fall. I can see that you are young female of 23 years and it is not the age to have hair fall as you have mentioned. Even then it can be because of multiple factors including stress, dietary imbalance and any long term illness and specifically in female due to blood loss and iron deficiency.

In my patients I suggest them to take vitamins in the form of biotin. Additionally amplify your protein intake on daily basis and eat sprouts. Eat a lot of green leafy vegetables and sprouts which contains vitamins and minerals necessary for normal hair function.

In my patients I also use minoxidil in lotion form to improve hair growth. Minoxidil do not cause any side effect and is very safe drug to be used.
I also suggest you to add iron content in your daily diet and can take iron supplements daily after meals.

Take care.
