Hello hope you are keeping safe 1) I understand your concern about hair fall. Please be aware that any hairfall less than 100 strands per day is normal and you shouldn't be worried as it might just be related to temporary - hormonal imbalance - stress - dietary habits and changes - a weight loss routine - lifestyle. - recent infection / fever - recent change of surrounding/ change of water - pollution - medications - excessive exposure to sunlight 2) you can follow some simple steps - if you have dandruff, you can follow up for it's treatment as dandruff by itself can cause considerable hair loss - oil massage your scalp daily for 15 minutes to increase the blood flow to the follicles to promote hair growth - avoid using hot iron, curlers or straighteners on hair as it changes texture and causes breakage of hair.- avoid damp hair combing - avoid chemical therapy to hair - have food rich in iron, vit d and folic acid.- use lukewarm water for hair wash and not very hot water. 3) even after you follow these you still find you hair loss more than 100 strands per day, do the following investigations - vit d levels - hb levels - thyroid levels - calcium levels - pcod these levels are directly linked up to hair fall and therefore the deficiency needs to be corrected. 4) you use some hair supplements like biotin capsules, hair serums that promote hair growth, multivatimin capsules. 5) stress is a main contributing factor, so try to relax yourself more. For more specific treatment and dosage you can have an online consultation with me. Thank you and take care.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. In children, common causes include fungal or bacterial infections, telogen effluvium (stress-related hair loss), and traction alopecia. However, the most common cause of hair loss in children is scalp ringworm, which is a treatable fungal infection. Doctors can treat most causes of hair loss and can often reverse it. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
