Hi,

Hairfall can occur due to a number of causes like Androgenic Aloepecia caused due to the sensitivity of hair follicles to androgenic hormones and genetics while other causes can be a fungal infection, nutritional deficiency, stress, long-standing illness, side effects of medicines.

You should consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and he can advise you investigations like hormonal assay, 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. You can be advised to take Biotin and multivitamin supplements.

You can also be advised to take Finasteride 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 platelet rich plasma and Mesotherapy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
