How Can Hair Loss Be Treated?

Hi Doctor, I have recently starting to notice my hair looking thinner on one side of my head.
I have read online about some reasons why this might be, stress, hormonal imbalence etc. I am taking the pill, Microgynon 30, but recently have not been taking it correctly. Could this have created a hormonal imbalence which may cause hair loss? Also what other reasons might be causing it? And what could I do to stop it?

Hello,

You may be having telogen effluvium. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. The cause may be anemia,vitamin deficiencies, mineral deficiencies, stress, endocrinal diseases, thyroid dysfunction, internal diseases etcetera. Avoid taking any oral pills. I would suggest you the following:
- Treatment of diseases if found.
- Take biotin tablet daily.
- Take vitamin capsule daily.
- Apply mild steroid lotion on the scalp.
- Apply herbal shampoo.
- Do almond oil massage in scalp and hairs.


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

Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel
