Suggest Treatment For Severe Hair Loss
Question: I have severe hair loss and my scalp is seen . Hair has become very scanty. I too treatment from Vcare but not much use. I'm using some Ayurvedic shampoos too. This has reduced Hail fall to a great extent but not much of hair growth. I really feel depressed looking at scanty hail on my head and scalp being seen. To avoid this I keep coloring my hair, so that the scalp is less seen.
It is mentioned below : - But does this have any side effects , heard that all these are carcinogenic so I'm scared to use any medicines for hair growth.
Minoxidil- This is used for the treatment of Androgenetic alopecia and Alopecia areata. Minoxidil is a liquid that you rub into your scalp twice dailyto regrow hair and to prevent further loss.

Brief Answer:
Minoxidil and Vcare are safe and free from carcinogen
Detailed Answer:
Hi, Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
I have gone through your query and understood it well.
The first diagnosis which comes in mind after reading your query is Female pattern Androgenetic Alopecia.
Vcare is herbal product and no carcinogenic is available in this.
The drug which we used to prescribe (or any dermatologist prescribes) is safe and free from carcinogens. All drugs are US FDA approved.
Minoxidil is frequently prescribed in androgenetic alopecia. Its 2% strength is US FDA approved for females and one ml is applied twice daily. It is off level prescribed in alopecia areata.
Apply this twice daily.
Take tab Biotin 10 mg + PABA + calcium pantothenate once daily. It is multivitamin and helps in strengthening and regrowth of hair.
Wash your hair with volumizing shampoo (Xgain shampoo, it is OTC product and frequently available).
Keep patience as stopping hair fall and hair growth takes time, usually 6-8 months or some time more.
Hope this will help you.
Regards
