Hello doctor I am suffering from excessive hair fall (strands of falling hair), tried every natural home remedy but it doesn't help, even applied various homeopathic oils. Currently just using normal shampoo and olive oil. Please suggest me some tablet or medication which would reduce the hair fall. I don't have any medical history.

Hi lybrate-user! as I have mentioned in your previous posts, hair fall is because of multiple factors, namely nutritional, hormonal, genetic, stress induced, environmental etc. You need to get evaluated systematically. Sometimes ,local scalp conditions like dandruff, folliculitis etc can cause hairfall. Usually ,shampoos and oils don't play much role in stimulating hair growth .oiling (massaging to scalp) indirectly helps in increasing blood flow to the hair follicles but canaggravate dandruff in prone patients. Similarly, shampoos also minimal role expect for clearing the debris and scales in dandruff cases. Use biotin supplements, calcium supplements, vitamin d for timebeing. Take good protein diet, include plenty of vegetables and fruits .incorporate omega 3 foods in your diet. Get blood tests done if not responding in a month or so and follow up with your local dermatologist.
