Hair fall problem
I'm witnessing a sudden hair fall from the last one month. It's only at the forehead hairline area especially in the front.
My dad has that pattern baldness, and mom's hair is good. I'm vegetarian but take supplement protein. No smoking, no drinking. There's not much stress. Please help me.

Hairfall is not due to one single cause. There are many conditions which can cause extreme hair loss and thinning of hair on the scalp. So first and foremost we have to find the cause of hair fall with the help of detailed history and examination. Some of the common causes maybe nutritional deficiency, hormonal causes like androgenic alopecia also called pattern baldness, hypothyroidism, telogeun effluvium etc. Unless we find and c,read the cause there is no point in giving non specific treatment. Also one should refrain from home remedies as it does not give any relief from hairfall. Oil and shampoos do not have any effect on hair growth as they are not absorbed in the skin.Please contact me using online consultation for proper examination diagnosis and treatment
