Hairfall issue
I am facing hairfall issue from last few months. I tried several home remedies, switched to organic product but none helped to stop the hairfall. I lost so much of my hair that it is leading to baldness and whenever i comb my hairfall i see lot of scattered hairs on the floor. While oiling hairs comes out from root in bulk. I am worried now

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 treat 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
