Hi,

As per your query, you have symptoms of hair fall which seems to be due to nutritional deficiencies, systemic conditions, compromised immunity of the body, genetic factor, fungal infection and hormonal changes. In your case, it seems to be due to long term use of medications.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you maintain complete hygiene and take biotin supplements. Take Indian gooseberry powder with water once a day and use olive for massage. You should consult a dermatologist for proper examination. The doctor may order skin patch test, blood test and physical examination. Keep your scalp dry. The doctor may prescribe you a drug like finpecia.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
