Though my diet is nutrient-rich, I have hair fall. Please help me.

Question

Hi doctor,

I am 25 years old. For the last one month my hair has been falling out a lot. My diet is vegan. I am eating a wide variety of foods, getting all my nutrients and not lagging in anything. I have got new hair growth on the top of my head and I am not losing it in patches. The loss is all over. Please help me.

Answer 2

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The two possibilities of illness are telogen effluvium and androgenic alopecia.

Telogen effluvium: It is due to some kind of physical illness or stress. It is usually self-limiting except in few cases of chronic telogen effluvium.
Androgenic alopecia : Very less chance as they present with patterned hair loss.

Nevertheless you can use Rogaine 2% lotion (Minoxidil), 0.04 oz twice daily for three months. Take tablet Keraglo Eva (Gamma Linolenic acid) one tablet daily and also eat iron rich food. Get back for review in six weeks.
