My friend is 18 years old male. He said that his doctor told him the cause of his hair fall. He said due to his chronic cough, something goes through the blood stream to the scalp causing dandruff and eventually hair fall. Can you please explain me how that gooie thing goes through blood stream and cause hair fall.
