I'm really worried about my hair falling out a lot lately. It's been happening for a while, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Can you suggest any ways to help stop the hair fall or maybe some treatments that could help me get it under control?

To overcome hair fall problem, you can try using minoxidil solution applied directly on the scalp. Additionally, you can take biotin supplements 10,000 mcg once daily to promote hair growth.
