What Causes Severe Loss Of Hair?

Hi I noticed that I have more hair shedding each time I take a bath. Today I looked in the mirror and found the top area of my head has obviously less hair and I can even see the skin. I feel afraid and don t know what to do. Was it because I used some bad shampoo? Or because of my life style? Do I need to see a doctor? I m female, 25 years old. Thank you.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain hairfall can occur due to a number of causes like Telogen Efluvium caused by fungal infection,nutritional deficiency, stress, long standing illness, side effects of medicines while can also be due to pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia..
You should consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and he can advise you investigations like hormonal assy, blood tests, trichogram, dermoscopy to rule out the exact cause of the problem and treat you accordingly..
You can be advised to apply 2% Minoxidil lotion over the scalp..
You can be advised to take Biotin and multivitamin supplements..
\You should massage the scalp with warm coconut oil..
You should take a nutritious diet and drink plenty of water..
You can also discuss about platelet rich plasma and Mesotherapy..

Hope this information helps..
