Hair fall and Hair thinning
Dear Doctor
I am experiencing hair fall from past 1 year.
My age is 25 years. Recently when i had been to trim my hair they said that my hairs are getting thinner.
There is no particular area where i can notice thiness like in the front or top of the head. I think the overall hair is getting thinner.
I also noticed some one or two white hairs in between.
My parents have thyroid issue. Last month i
had been to a thyroid test twise where the first results were T3 and T4 are normal but TSH Value is around 5 . And within a span of 15 days i had another thyroid test where all T3 T4 TSH are normal but hair fall still continues.
Pls suggest what i can do.

There are many reasons for hairfall or thinning of hair on the scalp. 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 send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription.
