Hello
Apart from alopecia, hair loss may occur due to skin and scalp related problems, causing your hair to fall quicker than normal. On an average you shed about 80 to 100 strands a day, but when you’re suffering from hair loss you will find almost bunches of hair falling out in every washing and combing session.

Being on steroids and heavy medications is also known to trigger hair loss. Apart from these, poor hair health because of improper eating habits or because of following the wrong hair care program may also be the reasons for your hair loss problem.

The two drugs that can help

Whether it is a man or a woman, who is experiencing hair loss problem, the course of best treatment remains nearly the same. Apart from oral medication that your doctor may recommend, the two most commonly used external application drugs are Rogaine and Minoxidil.
