Top Skin Problems in India & Their Effective Treatments
Share This :
Hair fall is one of the most common concerns among women today. While mild shedding is normal, excessive or sudden hair loss can feel worrying and affect confidence. The good news is—most causes are treatable when diagnosed early by a dermatologist.
In this blog, we explore the medical reasons behind hair fall in women and the clinically proven treatments that can restore healthy hair growth.
It’s normal to lose 50–100 strands per day.
But if you notice:
Hair thinning all over the scalp
Visible widening of your parting
Excessive hair on pillows, floors, and shower drains
Patches of sudden hair loss
Reduced hair volume
…it’s time to seek professional help.
Hormones play a major role in hair growth. Conditions such as:
PCOS
Thyroid disorders (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism)
Post-pregnancy changes
Menopause
…can trigger increased shedding or reduced hair density.
Why it happens: These imbalances shorten the hair growth cycle, leading to weak roots and slow regrowth.
Deficiencies are extremely common among Indian women. Low levels of:
Iron
Vitamin D
Vitamin B12
Zinc
Protein
…can severely impact hair growth.
Signs: Fatigue, brittle nails, pale skin, frequent hair breakage.
Chronic stress triggers a condition called Telogen Effluvium, where large numbers of hair follicles go into the resting phase and fall out.
Triggers include:
Emotional stress
Illness
Crash dieting
Sudden weight loss
Surgeries
High fever
This is a genetic condition that leads to gradual thinning, especially on the crown and parting.
Symptoms: Hair becomes finer, weaker, and less dense over time.
Alopecia Areata causes round or patchy bald spots due to the immune system attacking hair follicles.
Inflammation or infections can disrupt hair growth.
Common issues:
Dandruff / Seborrheic Dermatitis
Fungal scalp infections
Psoriasis
Folliculitis
These weaken the hair roots and lead to breakage or shedding.
Regular use of:
Heat styling
Tight hairstyles
Chemical smoothing, straightening & coloring
…can lead to traction alopecia and long-term damage.
A dermatologist may recommend tests like:
CBC
Thyroid profile
Iron studies
Vitamin D & B12 levels
Treating underlying deficiencies often shows visible improvements.
Based on diagnosis, the doctor may prescribe:
Anti-androgen tablets
Iron supplements
Vitamin D and B12
Biotin
Hormonal medications (if PCOS-related)
These should always be taken under medical supervision.
A highly effective treatment where platelet-rich plasma is injected into the scalp to:
Strengthen roots
Improve thickness
Boost regrowth
Ideal for androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium, and post-pregnancy hair fall.
An advanced upgrade of PRP with better concentration and faster results.
Microinjections of vitamins & peptides that improve scalp health and reduce shedding.
Low-level laser technology improves blood flow and stimulates new growth.
When hair fall is due to dandruff, infection, or inflammation, dermatologists may prescribe:
Medicated shampoos
Antifungal lotions
Anti-inflammatory treatments
Hair growth is slow.
Most women notice improvements within:
6–8 weeks: Reduced shedding
3 months: Visible density improvement
6 months: Stronger, healthier regrowth
Consistency is key!
Hair fall in women is treatable—but only when the underlying cause is identified correctly. With the right medical evaluation, professional treatments, and timely care, you can restore your hair’s strength, thickness, and health.
