Hair fall can be caused by several factors including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, and nutritional deficiencies.

🩺 Common Causes of Hair Fall

• Genetic predisposition such as male or female pattern baldness.
• Hormonal changes due to pregnancy, thyroid issues, or menopause.
• Physical or emotional stress impacting hair growth cycles.
• Deficiencies in nutrients like iron, zinc, and certain vitamins.

⚕️ Diagnosis

A medical evaluation by a dermatologist is important to identify the underlying cause. This may include physical examination, blood tests to check for nutritional deficiencies or hormonal imbalances, and sometimes scalp biopsy.

💊 Treatment Options

• Nutritional supplements like those containing amino acids, vitamins, and minerals can help nourish hair (e.g., products with biotin, zinc, and iron).
• Lifestyle changes such as reducing stress, improving diet, and avoiding harsh hair treatments.
• Medications or topical treatments prescribed by a dermatologist depending on the cause.

🩺 When to See a Specialist

Consult a dermatologist if hair fall is sudden, patchy, accompanied by scalp itching or pain, or if over-the-counter treatments do not help after a few months.

Seeing a dermatologist will help tailor treatment to your specific condition and improve outcomes.
