Hi,

how are you now? has the hair fall stopped? or is it continuing? have you got any other treatment for this yet?

Please keep us posted. Also let me know if you may need any more information on hair fall and/or dandruff control.

Best regards

Hi,

Hair growth and fall follows a cycle. Every few years the hair fall much more than they grow, this is known as the telogen phase of the growth ad may be confused with hair fall. There may be other causes of hair fall such as, age, thyroid problems, diabetes or lupus. Other causes are a low protein diet, a family history or poor nutrition. Drugs such for chemotherapy may also cause this.

Each of these cause may need further evaluation as to the probability of the causation. A dermatologist may be able to help you further.

let me know if you may need more information.
