Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain hairfall can occur due to a number of causes like fungal infection of scalp, nutritional deficiency, long standing diseases, heavy stress, hormonal imbalances and genetics..
I would suggest you to consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like a complete hormonal profile, complete blood picture and localized investigations like Dermoscopy and Trichogram can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
You can be advised to apply 5%-10% Minoxidil lotion over the scalp that is one of the most commonly and effectively advised treatment..
You can be advised to take Biotin and Multivitamin supplements..
You should use warm coconut oil or olive oil to massage your scalp..
You can also be advised to take Finesteride if you are diagnosed with pattern baldness as it helps in suppressing androgenic hormones that cause destruction of hair follicles..
You should use a mild shampoo to wash your scalp and hairs and also keep the scalp clean and dry..
Limit stress by doing yoga, meditation and breathing exercises..
Eat healthy and drink plenty of water..

You can be advised to

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
