Why hair fall needs a scalp check first

Hair on the brush, a wider parting, or a thinning patch is easy to treat as a product problem. At Shreem Madhava the first step is a look at the scalp itself. Hair fall has more than one cause, and the same bottle is not the right answer for each of them.

What the check is for

The doctor looks at where the hair is thinning, how the scalp looks, and how long the change has been going on. That decides whether the next conversation is about hair fall, PRP, or another option in the hair catalogue.

• Bring a note of medicines and recent illness.

• Say when you first noticed the change.

• Mention family hair loss if you know it.

The clinic sees patients in Pondicherry and Villupuram. Book a time when you want the scalp checked rather than guessed from a photograph.
