Hello dear See hairloss can be attributed to mental stress or fungal infection like dandruff. In your case it is stress induced. Iam suggesting some medications and precautions to be done Please follow them for one month Do meditation Do physical exercises Indulge in hobbies like reading novels Engage in social activities Minoxidil (2% or 5%) for hair gain OTC solution to be given topically
Finasteride on recommendation only by dermatologist Biotin- medications for growth Selenium Sulfide (Selsun Blue) – antifungal shampoo Avoid exposure to pollen or contaminated area Lastly,Use bhringraj or onion oil for head massage
In case of no improvement in 1 month, consult dermatologist in for better clarification Hopefully you recover soon Regards
Hi Vatan,
The good news: early treatment makes a big difference
☺️ What you can do right now
1. Medical Treatments (most effective, but need “doctor’s guidance”) • Minoxidil (5% topical solution/foam) – applied to scalp daily. Helps regrow and strengthen hair. • Finasteride (oral tablet, 1 mg/day) – reduces DHT levels, slows hair loss, promotes regrowth. (Prescription only, discuss side effects with your doctor). • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy – injections at dermatologist clinic; can improve density.
⚠️ These need consistency (at least 3–6 months to see results). Stopping them can reverse progress.

2. Supportive Measures • Diet: Add protein (eggs, paneer, lentils), iron-rich foods (spinach, beetroot), nuts (almonds, walnuts, flax seeds), Vitamin D. • Supplements: Biotin + multivitamin may help if you’re deficient. • Hair care: • Mild shampoo (avoid harsh chemicals). • Oil gently (coconut/argan) 1–2 times a week. • No tight hairstyles, no frequent heat/chemical styling.
⸻
3. Lifestyle • Reduce stress (yoga, exercise, meditation – stress raises cortisol, which worsens hair loss). • Sleep 7–8 hours.
I suggest consult a dermatologist in person.
Sudden hair fall from the hairline with thinning is mostly androgenic alopecia (DHT-related), but stress, poor nutrition, thyroid or vitamin deficiencies can worsen it. For early stages, doctors usually suggest topical minoxidil and sometimes finasteride (oral/topical) under supervision, along with diet rich in protein, iron and vitamins. Please consult a dermatologist / trichologist for proper scalp examination, tests, and safe prescription—because self-medication with DHT blockers can have side effects. ✅
Would you like me to also give you a natural + lifestyle plan along with medical options so you can combine both?
