Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have alopecia problem . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like genetic factor , fungal infection and hormonal changes . In your case it seems to me that the the hormonal factor is responsible for hair fall. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test and physical examination . 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 ( half spoon ) with water once a day and use olive for massage . Massage gently not hard.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
