Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM,

I read and understood your concern about hairloss.
There are a lot of reasons for hairloss, most common being nutritional deficiency and dandruff.
Eat healthy, stop smoking, take nutritional supplements like zinc, iron and biotin/ b complex.
Apply ketoconazole containing shampoo twice weekly. Leave it on your hair for 5 minutes after foaming and then wash off.

If this doesnt help, apply 5% minoxidil lotion on scalp once at night. This is FDA approved method to combat hairloss, particularly male pattern hair loss (thinning of hair from front). Also see your dermatologist to get finasteride prescribed, an oral drug to reduce hair loss.

Hope I helped
