Hi and welcome to ChatDoctorBefore advising any further treatment, I would like to know if you have always been in Mumbai or recently shifted your location. Did you fall sick before you started having hairball? Any history of other medication or family history of similar hairless? Do you have any other symptoms, menstrual problems? If your hair fall has not improved I would advise you to first check your blood levels for hemoglobin, iron levels and TSH. These can affect your hair growth and need to be corrected first.In the meantime you can continue biotin tablets daily. Use Anaphase shampoo or Renoir shampoo regularly. Apply the serum at night. Once you check the blood tests further treatment options can be looked at. Eat a nutritious diet, get rest and avoid stress and pollution for your hair and skin to be healthy.
