Hello doctor,
I am suffering from hair fall and dandruff. My hair line is getting reduced day by day, there is decrease in hair density and hair is also thinning.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
There are many reasons for hair fall or thinning of hair on the scalp. So first and foremost, we have to find the cause with the help of detailed history and examination. Some common causes of hair fall are nutritional deficiency, hormonal causes like androgenic alopecia, patterned baldness, hypothyroidism, telogen effluvium, etc. Unless we find and treat the reason, there is no point in giving non-specific treatment. Oils or shampoos do not affect hair growth as they are not absorbed in the skin. I would request you to please send photographs for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription.
