A member asked:
I am experiencing thinning hair and hair fall... can biotin or any other supplement help in thinning hair??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It may help: but biotin deficiency is rare. You need to find the cause of the hair fall which could be hypothyroidism, iron deficiency anemia, genetics, stress and be treated accordingly. In the mean time try minoxadil otc which may help little.
