Suggest Treatment For Severe Hair Fall

default
Posted on Sat, 18 Jun 2016
Question: Hi Team,

I am 27 year old male. The problem i am facing currently is hairfall & hairloss.

I used to have very curly and heavy hair during my school days when i was staying at my home in XXXXXXX (U.P.) till 2007.
Since the time I moved to XXXXXXX NCR for higher studies and job i am facing hairfall problems.

The hairfall becomes prominent in rainy seasons and gets reduced in other seasons.

Is there any possibility to get my lost hairs back and also the haircount to increase.
Majorly my hairs are lost from the corners above the forehead and the center of my head.
I never had any medications for hairloss.

What are the chances of getting the hairs back.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
According to your complaints it seems you are having male pattern baldness.
It is a hormone mediated hair loss occuring in genetically predisposed individuals.
Stress definitely leads to increase hair loss and it is also normal to have slightly increased hair loss in rainy season as compared to other seasons.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to start applying minoxidil 5 percent lotion on the affected areas of the scalp.
The dose is 1 ml twice daily.
Along with this I would recommend you to take tablet finasteride 1 mg once daily.
This is usually continued for 4-5 months to see significant response and for atleast 1 year to see maximum response.
First your hair loss will stop followed by regrowth of hair.
I hope to have answered your query and would be happy to clarify any further doubts.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
