Severe Hair Fall
I am having severe hair fall.every time I move my fingers along my hair lots of hair comes out. I have very little dandruff and dry scalp. I got my TSH,t3,t4 and vitamin b12 checked. These tests are normal. I was having pcod, insulin resistance before. I lost about 15 kg by following a healthy diet plan from a dietician. What are the medical tests required to investigate the reason for hair fall? What treatments I have to take?

There are many reasons for hair fall. 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. Please call me or send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription,
