Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have been suffering from extreme hair fall for the past nine months, and it has not stopped. Currently, I am using the lotion given by my physician, but there is no improvement seen.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern. Hair loss is caused by multiple factors, most commonly due to genetic factors; if any of your parents and their blood relatives have FPHL (female pattern hair loss), it is most likely to be genetically transmitted. Other reasons include vitamin deficiencies, zinc and iron deficiencies, climatic factors, hormonal imbalances, dietary changes, and lifestyle factors, including using of commercial oils, shampoos, hair smoothening, or straightening products. In addition, due to frequent hair coloring, stressful events like chicken pox, COVID-19 infection, any other infections, or surgical history are also stressful events that may lead to extreme hair loss.
I suggest you to follow a few instructions mentioned below.
Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them and take medications with their consent.
I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
