What Is The Cause Of Hair Fall?

Hi, I have been loosing my hair for the past 3 months. Half of my hair is gone. I have also been on the pill for about 6 months. Loosing your hair I know is a side affect. I have heard though at the 5-6 mark that side affect may happen. BUT I have been dying my hair every month for the past 2 years. So i stopped dying my hair and I am still on the pill and taking vitamins for your hair. My hair has become weak and falls out a lot. Is it the pill or my hair dye? Should I go off the pill?

Hi,

As per your query you have hair fall leading to alopecia problem which could be due to a side effect of medication as well as due to hair dye. Need not to worry. I would suggest you consult a dermatologist for proper examination. The doctor may order skin patch test, blood test and physical examination. The doctor may prescribe you drug like finpecia at least for 3-4 months or antifungal treatment along with minoxidil spray. Try on alternative medicine for a few days if symptoms start getting better. Start taking supplements like Vitamin A, Omega-3 and Vitamin E. Take Indian gooseberry powder with water and use almond oil.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
