A Study on Etiological Factors Responsible for Hair Fall

A 22-year-old experiencing intense hair loss across the scalp seeks advice, considering factors like nutrition and genetics. Suggestions include checking vitamin, mineral, and thyroid levels.

A 19-year-old is experiencing early hair loss, possibly due to oily skin, stress, poor diet, and lack of sleep. They have tried ketoconazole shampoo without success and plan to visit a dermatologist for further advice.

Hair loss can be influenced by nutritional deficiencies, particularly low Vitamin D and fatty liver, and improving nutrition and lifestyle can strengthen hair. Treatments suggested include regular exercise, a balanced diet, vitamin supplements, and coconut oil massages, while acknowledging that hereditary factors may also play a role.

Hair loss has slowed, but uneven growth and kinking persist despite using keto/nizoral shampoo and clotrimazole. Stress and anxiety might be contributing factors.

Corticosterone inhibits GAS6, affecting hair follicle stem-cell activity, with potential implications for stress-related hair loss. Ashwagandha and Vitamin K are suggested for reducing cortisol, but their effectiveness is debated.

The conversation discusses alopecia areata and whether diet changes can resolve it. One user mentions that their condition fluctuates without dietary changes, suggesting stress as a possible factor.
