I am having hair fall and dandruff problems. I need to control my hair fall as it is causing a lot of worry to me. So I started eating eggs as a source of protein. Should I eat the yellow part of the egg or only the white part?

Hair fall can happen because of a lot of reasons. Nutritional deficiencies are a common cause of this. This might include a deficiency of protein or vitamins and micronutrients.
Eggs are nutritional and a good source of protein. However, there can be many reasons contributing to hair loss. Even stress, lack of sleep, or a sedentary life can increase hair fall.
Dandruff needs to be treated separately. This treatment can include dedicated shampoos or lotions for the problem. Antifungal tablets may be needed in some cases.
Dandruff can take up to four to six weeks to clear. Hair fall also takes a few months to reduce.
A dermatologist can help give a specific diagnosis. The treatment advised should be continued for some time for the best results.
