Detailed Question:
I am suffering from Hair thinning and falling nearby forehead. My grandmother and father also have very thin hair this can be hereditary as well. Please help me with the treatment.
I am facing thinning and falling of hair to the extent that my scalp is now visible, especially near my forehead.
My hair is oily and I tend to wash it everyday because if I don't hairfall becomes more severe. I do not style my hair or use any chemical treatments (other than shampoos).
My diet is healthy and has not undergone any significant changes in the last few years. My paternal grandmother and father have very thin hair and my grandmom is nearly bald so this is possibly hereditary.
It is extremely disturbing and I would like to know if there is any treatment available.
I am 25 years old, occasionally my Hb drops below recommended levels but not very frequently, my last thyroid test was normal and I have tested negatively for PCOD.
