Varsha’s Hair Fall & Scalp Bumps: How Traya Helped Her Find the Right Balance

When Varsha first joined Traya, she wasn’t only worried about her severe hair fall and thinning, but also about a sudden, unexpected problem:

“For the last 8–10 days, I’ve been getting bumps on my forehead, back, neck, and even my scalp. They’re tiny, with whiteheads inside, and they itch a little. I never had this before.”

This combination of hair fall + skin breakouts left her feeling unsettled. She wanted answers—and reassurance.

The Challenge: Hair Fall with Skin Sensitivity

Varsha’s main struggle was:

Heavy Hair Fall – already thin hair was shedding more than usual.
New Skin Eruptions – itchy bumps with whiteheads on scalp, face, and back.
Itchy Scalp – discomfort alongside shedding.

She had never faced dandruff before, so this sudden change felt alarming.

Deeksha, her Traya coach, reassured her: “Don’t worry, Varsha. We’ll check everything step by step. Your kit has both supplements for internal health and topicals for external care, but we’ll go carefully with usage.”

Root Causes Identified

After listening to her history, lifestyle, and current symptoms, two possible root causes stood out:

Blocked Scalp Pores & Heat Imbalance

The bumps were likely folliculitis—tiny inflammations caused by clogged follicles or internal body heat.
As the doctor explained: “Sometimes, when the body cannot release heat or toxins properly—through urine, sweating, or digestion—it comes out as acne or bumps.”
Nutrition & Hydration Gaps
Varsha admitted: “My water intake is low.”
This dehydration likely worsened toxin build-up, triggering the bumps.
Lack of zinc-rich foods could also be contributing to weak hair and poor skin healing.

Emotional Impact

Varsha felt anxious because these bumps were new:

“I never had this before. Suddenly in just 10 days, my scalp, forehead, and back have these white bumps. With hair fall already troubling me, this is too much.”

She even wondered if her hair products were to blame. The uncertainty and visible skin issues made her self-conscious.

The Hair Coach & Doctor’s Approach

Traya’s team worked in two steps:

Step 1: Immediate Guidance

Stop Minoxidil & Oil for Now: Until bumps subsided, she was advised to pause minoxidil and scalp oil for a week to avoid irritation.
Temporary Reduction in Serum Dose: After 3 days, she could try 0.5 ml once daily if bumps reduced, but only on scalp—not near affected areas.
Doctor’s Confirmation: The bumps were linked to internal body heat and pore blockage, not dandruff.

Step 2: Lifestyle & Nutrition Fixes

Increase Water Intake to 3 Litres daily to flush out toxins.
Zinc-Rich Foods: Pumpkin seeds were recommended. “They’re rich in zinc and help both hair growth and skin healing,” explained the doctor.
Protein & Iron Diet: Continue home-cooked meals with spinach, paneer, milk, and eggs for nourishment.
Exercise & Sleep: Maintain 7–8 hours of sleep and restart zumba/exercise after her break.

Varsha’s Traya Treatment Plan

External Care

Scalp Oil + Growth Booster (twice weekly) → paused temporarily until bumps settled.
Defense Shampoo + Conditioner (twice weekly) → to cleanse scalp gently.
Leave-in Serum → only after hair wash, applied on lengths (not scalp).
Minoxidil Serum → temporarily paused, later restarted with reduced dose.

Internal Care

Hair Vitamins: 1 tablet daily after breakfast.
Health Tattva: 1 capsule each morning & night after meals.
Hydration & Zinc Boost: 3L water daily + pumpkin seeds added to diet.

The Recovery Timeline

Month 1: Body detoxification; weaker hair sheds, bumps subside with hydration and balanced diet.
Month 3: Visible reduction in hair fall; scalp health improves, less itching.
Month 4+: Stronger roots, improved volume, better skin balance.
Maintenance Phase: Only essential topicals (like minoxidil & serum) continued, supplements tapered.

The Role of the Traya App

Varsha was also guided to use the Traya app:

Diet Plan: Customized chart based on her needs.
Log & Earn: Track product usage to stay consistent and earn discounts.
Book a Call: Connect with coaches/doctors anytime she had doubts.

This gave her reassurance that she wasn’t alone in her journey.

Conclusion

Varsha’s story highlights how hair fall is rarely just external—it’s linked with overall body balance.

By addressing her hydration, nutrition, and lifestyle, and carefully monitoring her scalp reactions, Traya gave her a safe, personalized approach.

She started this journey because, as she laughed, “My child kept insisting—‘Try Traya, try Traya!’ So I finally did. Now I’m hopeful for the best.”

With patience and consistency, Varsha is on track not just for better hair, but also for healthier skin and a calmer mind.
