Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain hairfall rate of about 25 to as many as 100 hair strands per day is normal but loosing 50 strands every time you comb your hairs or wash is not normal and you need to take care of it as hairfall in excess can occur due to causes like Androgenic Aloepecia or Male Pattern Baldness that is caused due to hormonal causes and genetics which other conditions that are termed under Telogen Effluvium are severe stress, nutritional deficiencies, long standing illness etc..
I would suggest you to consult a Technologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like blood tests, hormonal assy and other tests like Trichogram and Dermoscopy can help in ruling out the exact cause and treatment can be advised accordingly..
You can be advised to apply 5% Minoxidil lotion over the scalp.
You can take bioti and multivitamin and mineral supplement daily.
You can massage your scalp with warm coconut oil twice a week..
In case if Androgenic Alopecia is diagnosed then Finesteride can be advised to be taken orally..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
