Hello,
Thank you for writing to HCM

Hairfall after 20 years is very common now a days and there are various reasons for it.
You have not mentioned your age, sex and whether you took any treatment for the same.
Common cause if hormones. In females PCOD.
I would advice you to take few tests- Hormones profile, thyroid profile, S.ferritin and Usg abdomen(usg only if you are a female)
use- topical Minoxidil 5% lotion for minimum 1 year daily at night
T. biotin 5mg daily once
ducray Anaphase shampoo twice/thrice a wk
Consult a dermatologist in person with test results.
