Hello,

Hair loss is a matter of concern for sure. The following are few causes of hair loss:
1) Severe stress
2) Dandruff
3) Severe malnutrition
4) Post recovery from typhoid or any viral illness
5) Hypothyroidism
6) Some of the fungal infections of hair like tinea capitis
7) Lice infestations
8) Exposure to heavy pollution and heat on a daily basis

I would see at least 10 patients with the same problem daily in my clinic. The following is the advice I would give them:
1) Special anti-fungal shampoo like Ketoconazole shampoo is to be used for head shower
2) This must be used weekly thrice for head shower
3) Tab. Trichoton daily for 30 days
4) Healthy diet that includes trace elements like zinc, selenium, phosphorus etc.
5) Proper protection from dust and pollution
6) Thyroid profile is to be done once to rule out hypothyroidism
7) Adequate sleep of 8 hours daily is significant in preventing hair loss

If there is no improvement even after the above treatment for 20 days, you need to consult a dermatologist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
