There are many reasons for hairfall or thinning of hair on the scalp. So first and foremost we have to find the cause with the help of detailed history and examination. Some of the common causes are nutritional deficiency, hormonal causes like androgenic alopecia or patterned baldness, hypothyroidism, telogen effluvium etc. Unless we find and treat the cause there is no point in giving non specific treatment. Oils or shampoos do not have any effect on hair growth as they are not absorbed in the skin. Moreover, you should never self treat with anything. Please send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription.

1)There are couple of things you need to consider while tackling an acne. Itâs a disorder of oil gland in which oil production is more and itâs been influenced by hormones and diet. It can be controlled with having salicylic acid containing face wash along with reducing dairy products in diet and oily food. You would want to treat the condition based on its severity. Pictures of affected area would help in understanding the condition and would help you treating better way. 2)Hair fall has multifactorial etiology.Stress, diet , genetic and hormones play important part in maintaining hair growth. As far as losing hair or receding hairline in men genetics play important role . Majority of case is been diagnosed as Male pattern alopecia ! Anti androgens tablets and minoxidil lotion would help in controlling the hair fall. There are many brands available but before you start with any treatment do visit a dermatologist or consult online with us.
