Hi, there are various types of problems in which hair loss and thinning can happen. Losing about 50-80 strands per day is normal and it is a part of hair cycles, under normal healthy circumstances these hair grow back. Any loss above 100 per day is a cause of concern. Commonest reasons for hair loss are anemia, thyroid, hormonal imbalance, pcos, family history of baldness, post any illness like malaria, typhoid, jaundice etc, chemical treatments of hair like straightening, perming and coloring, and occasionally nutritional deficiency. Hair requires mainly protein and iron apart from certain minerals. So focus on having dal, milk, eggs, dry fruits like almonds, walnuts, raisins, fruits like apples oranges, sweet lemon, jaggery, dates apart from these you can have green tea, soya and pumpkin seeds where there is thinning of hair shaft. Regarding your skin complaint you need to be more specific with your question. Take an online consultation through Lybrate to get your condition assessed and to treat the same medically.
