Hi.
As per your case history you are having hairfall due to anemia.
My treatment advice is –
1. Take good nutritious diet full of green leafy vegetables and milk.
2. Use a good herbal shampoo and coconut hair oil for regular use.
3. Take an iron supplement once daily and vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
4. Other treatment options are topical minoxidil, oral finasteride and mesotherpy done by a dermatologist.
Thanks.
