Suggest Treatment For Hair Fall And Breakage

Hello

I have moved to Dubai and am experiencing hair fall/breakage.

I used to have mild alopecia when I was in my early teens (i am currently 23) so i went to a doctor here. They did blood tests to see if I had a thyroid issue but the results were all normal. Likewise i do not have low iron and there is no history of it in my family.



What could this be caused by? I went to sri lanka for 10 days just now and my hair was noticeably softer with less fall so i do not think it can be climate related (i.e. the heat of Dubai compared to London).

Hello,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

Hair fall with breakage could be due to dry and brittle hairs.

If your iron store and thyroid profile are normal, you may benefit from taking oral biotin supplements to strengthen the hairs and by using a good hair conditioner to prevent breakage.

Hope this helps you.

Take care.
