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. Moreover, you should never self treat with anything. Please call me or send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription, most likely it is telogen effluvium. Needs to be treated.

Greetings madam! Please dont worry. Telogen effluvium take 3- 4 weeks to settle completely. Trust your treating dermatologist. Warm regards, Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Bengaluru.
