Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe hair loss which is known as alopecia. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like nutritional deficiencies, systemic conditions, compromised immunity of body, genetic factor , fungal infection and hormonal changes. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test and physical examination. Keep your scalp dry. 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 . Doctor may also recommend hair transplant with HUE technique. Take Indian goose berry powder with water once a day and use olive for massage.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
