Sir, i am a student aged 23 years. I have a severe hairfall. My hairs are also very thin, my scalp is very dry. I don't take any tension as such and i think this hairfall is because of my heridity problem as my father had also this problem and now he had lost approx all his hairs

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.



Hair loss may be due to several reasons like:

1. Any stressful condition or any recent disease like malaria typhoid - if hair fall is due to this reason than its temporary and hairs will regrow soon

2. If you have thyroid disease- get thyroid profile done

3. Vitamine D3 deficiency can result in increased hair fall - get serum vit D3 levels done

4. Decreased iron - get serum ferritin done

5. A type of hair loss in male called Androgenetic alopecia is due to male hormone testosterone. It is considered to be age phenomenon and in this case hair loss can be prevented by taking Antitestosterone medications in low doses.

Along with above you apply minoxidil 5 % lotion all over the scalp before sleep and take biotin pill.

Take no stress eat balanced diet and do some exercise.



Best wishes for you

Thank You
