General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Common causes of hair fall include androgenic androgenic alopecia, fungal infection, nutritional deficiency, alopecia areata, and cancer chemo/radiotherapy. Treatment depends upon the cause, but the most common cause in young male is androgenic alopecia.
Advice
1.     Minoxidil gel 5% (Tugain gel) – 1 mL twice daily for 4 months
2.     Tablet PROHAIR 1 mg daily per oral for 2 months
3.     Capsule Adgain – one capsule daily orally for 3 months
4.     High protein and vitamin rich diet such as eggs, meat, vegetables, cheese etc
5.     Do not take much tension as anxiety/depression aggravates hair loss
For dandruff
1.     Apply Scalpe shampoo twice weekly for 2 months
Thanks
