Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 18 years old. Nowadays I observe that I am losing my hair on the head and getting ball head. Is there any precaution to be followed? Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
There are a lot of causes for hair loss including stress, lack of proper nutrition, scalp infection including dandruff, hormonal or genetic causes, seasonal and many more. As a routine you should wash your scalp daily. Do not apply hair oil as it can increase dandruff. Take a diet rich in proteins and vitamins which includes eggs, paneer (cottage cheese), green vegetables, and fruits. Most of the time it is dietary so take the tablet I am prescribing below for six weeks.
