What Causes Severe Hair Fall?

I am a 21 year old girl. I have already suffered drastic hair fall...its somewhat controlled now but still my hair fall more than normal at times. I have to shift to Delhi. I am afraid that Delhi's polluted water would aggravate my problem? What should i do?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi, first of all stop worrying as it will further aggravate your problem. We should first look the cause of hair fall..you can consult some dermatologist who will just have a look at your scalp and will suggest you some basic investigations.
Meanwhile start taking oral biotin supplements 10 mg in a day along with iron and calcium supplements. You have to continue these supplements at least for 3 months.
Water has as such no effect on your hairfall..wash your hair twice or thrice weekly with mild shampoos..
Avoid using hair dryers, straightners and hair styling gels.
Give me feed back after your dermat consultation..
Thanks..
