Hi,

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complain hairfall can occur due to a number of causes and Androgenic Aloepecia OR Pattern Baldness is a common cause that is caused due to Androgenic hormones and genetics. Other causes are fungal infection, nutritional deficiency, stress, long standing illness, side effects of medicines, certain skin cosmetics etc.

In case if you have pattern baldness also certain oral and topical medications can be taken for resolution. You should however consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and he can advise you investigations like Complete blood picture, hormonal profile, Trichogram, Drmoscopy etc to rule out the exact cause and treat you accordingly. You can be advised to apply 5% Minoxidil lotion over the scalp.

You can be advised to take Biotin and multivitamin supplements. You can also be advised to take Finesteride orally if there is androgenic alopecia as it suppresses androgens. Massage the scalp with warm coconut oil or olive oil is also beneficial. You should take a nutritious diet and drink plenty of water. There are also recent techniques that can be planned of like Mesotherapy, Platelet rich plasma etc.

Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks and regards,
Dr. Honey Nandwani Arora
