Suggest treatment for severe hair loss
Patient: Hi. I m 32 years female. Getting severe hair fall, specially while applying oil. I hav lost most hair from d front. I m not yet married so getting worried more..i already did all d tests n everything is normal. Whn I go with medicines it goes well but whn I stop it, it started agn. So I stop taking medicines a long back. I work in night shifts. Plz help Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  It is very important to find out what is the cause of your hair fall: diet/lifestyle/hormonal changes/dandruff/hereditary/weather changes/poor products usage to name a few. Hair oiling is mostly just a conditioner and may not be enough for your hair fall. I suggest you start applying topical Minoxidil 5% once at night over your scalp, which will stimulate new growth. Also start taking multivitamins with biotin in them. Increase your nutritional quotient in your diet.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
