Hi,
As per your query you have symptoms of hair loss which seems to be due to compromised immunity of body, stress, systemic conditions, fungal infection, hormonal changes and improper hygiene.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to
- Do massage of hair scalp with olive oil on daily basis.
- Take biotin capsules and eventually start with Finasteride preparations.
- Take diet rich in supplements like Vitamin A, Omega-3 and Vitamin E.
- Take protein rich diet and healthy food intake.
If symptoms keep on persisting visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment with antifungal medication. Go for blood tests to check any underlying systemic pathology.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
