Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe hair fall which is due to alopecia problem. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like poor immunity of your body, genetic factor, fungal infection and hormonal changes. Need not to worry. Take Indian gooseberry powder with water once a day and use olive for massage . Keep your scalp dry and keep massaging it with anti dandruff shampoo. You can start with Rogaine after complete examination. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test and physical examination . Doctor may prescribe you drug like finpecia at least for 3-4 months or anti fungal treatment along with minoxidil spray . Doctor may also prescribe supplements like Vitamin A ,Omega-3 and Vitamin E .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
