Hi Dear,

Excessive thinning of hair as per your query means you have alopecia problem which could be due to genetic factor, fungal infection and hormonal changes. Stress could be an additional factor. I would suggest you to take diet rich in supplements like Vitamin A,Omega-3 and Vitamin E. Take Indian goose berry powder ( half spoon ) with water once a day and use almond oil. You should consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test and physical examination and may prescribe you drug like finpecia at least for 3-4 months or anti fungal treatment along with minoxidil spray.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
