RX 1) Tab follihair 1 tab after dinner for 3 months
Your symptoms suggest nutritional/hormonal imbalance leading to hair fall, and sun/skin barrier damage causing spider veins. With proper supplements, scalp care, and skin protection, this can improve in 3–6 months. For spider veins, laser treatment is the most effective permanent solution, but prevention with sunscreen + barrier repair is equally important.
Hello Ashu, I understand your concern and I’m here to help. Here is my advise -
1. Hair fall & damage - -Use mild sulphate free shampoo 2-3 times/week. (SebaMed everyday shampoo OR Cetaphil Baby Shampoo OR Kaya nourishing shampoo) - Apply coconut oil or argan oil gently 1–2 times a week (avoid heavy oils daily). - Tab. Keraglo Men/Women (According to your gender), once daily after food × 3 months. - If your hairfall is patchy or progressive at the scalp front - 5% Minoxidil Lotion, apply directly over the scalp skin, not hair, once / twice a day to dry and clean scalp. - Avoid frequent coloring or harsh chemicals.
2. For spider veins in face - - You need an SPF30+ non comedogenic oil free sunscreen ( Bioderma photoderm AKN mat SPF30 OR Neutrogena ultra sheer dry touch SPF 50). -Avoid hot water face washes, excessive scrubbing, and steroid creams. -For existing spider veins: Laser therapy is the most effective option. Consult a Dermatologist for the same. -Creams won’t remove veins but can reduce redness.
3. Lifestyle-Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, proteins, and omega-3 (flaxseed, walnuts, fish). Reduce stress, ensure good sleep. Stay hydrated (2–3 L/day).

Visible spider veins on the face and significant hair fall can both be symptoms of underlying health issues, or they may arise from lifestyle factors or environmental exposures. For the spider veins, also known as telangiectasias, they can be linked with prolonged sun exposure, aging, or skin trauma but also with medical conditions like rosacea or hormonal fluctuations. A dermatologist can perform an assessment and consider options like laser therapy or sclerotherapy if treatment is needed.
For hair loss, which sounds quite pronounced, it may result from nutritional deficiencies, stress, hormonal imbalances (such as thyroid disorders or polycystic ovary syndrome), or scalp conditions. Male or female pattern baldness could also be a factor depending on your age and family history. Consider getting a blood test with a doctor to rule out deficiencies in iron, zinc, or vitamins, and to check your hormone levels. Sometimes lifestyle modifications help; limiting heat styling and harsh chemical treatments can protect hair, while a balanced diet rich in proteins and essential fatty acids supports hair health.
In the meantime, self-care steps like using gentle hair care products, avoiding pulling hairstyles, and wearing sunscreen on your face can mitigate further damage. If hair loss continues at this pace or you notice additional symptoms, see a healthcare provider for an exact diagnosis and appropriate management. Early consultation could help prevent further progression, ensuring the approach targets the main causes effectively. Remember, personalized medical advice can provide more focused interventions tailored to your specific situation.
