Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

There are several factors that can lead to hair loss or thinning on the scalp. Therefore, it is essential to determine the underlying cause through a comprehensive history and examination. Common causes include nutritional deficiencies, hormonal factors like androgenic alopecia (patterned baldness), hypothyroidism, and telogen effluvium (a type of temporary hair loss), among others. Administering nonspecific treatments without identifying and addressing the root cause is not effective. It is important to note that oils or shampoos have no impact on hair growth because they do not penetrate the skin. For an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plan, please share photographs, so that I can help you better.

I hope this helps.
