How Can Hair Loss Be Treated?
hi I am a 31 year old female living in pune india. my entire life i never faced any hair problem enjoyed great hair. never experimented with my hair. enjoyed a healthy hip long mane. until i moved to pune from New delhi.
within a few eeks of moving to pune
i started experiencing hair fall which couldnt go unnoticed. my hair started thinning and started becoming scanty. i have been in pune since august 2007 now and hair fall asnt stopped till date. my hair is scanty around the top of me head(dnt know what its called but thats where men generally loose hair) i tried several treatments but none worked out for me. i would also like to mention that the water in pune is underground boring water and s not fit to be used. please suggest something as this is driving me crazy . my air around the other parts of head is pretty healthy

Hi,
You seem to have telogen effluvium .. You may be having some cause...like anaemia,vitamin and nutritional deficiencies,thyroid dysfunction,stress, anxiety,worries,travelling,any other internal disease,certain drugs...etc.Poor hygiene and poor nutrition may responsible for telogen effluvium. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis.
To controll hair fall and to improve hair growth you may take biotin 10 tab daily for few months and apply mild steroid lotion on scalp at night daily. For hair oiling and shampoo use herbal preparations. Take treatment for few years.
Have patience..for the good result.
I hope this would help you.
Thanks.
