Suggest Remedy For Severe Hair Loss And Thinning

default
Posted on Wed, 3 Dec 2014
Question: HI Doctor,

I have been suffering from severe hair loss and thinning of hair from the last few months. There is dandruff and itching on the scalp too. My hair have become very weak and tend to fall easily.

As such I'm Vitamin A deficient and was having PMLE infections earlier which gets worse during summers. I am not taking any medications currently and have a good XXXXXXX otherwise.

Could you please suggest something to control it.

Take biotin tablet daily.
Biotin causes hair growth.
It is one of the component of hair building unit.
It also promotes utilization of proteins by hair.
Use minoxidil along with biotin.
This combination should help you.
