Suggest Remedy For Psoriasis & Hair Loss
Hello Doctor, I am 22 years old and I have psoriasis for past 4-5 years now. I am consulting a dermatologist and my hair got better earlier this year but then I had typhoid in march because of which I lost a lot of hair. I dont have psoriasis at present but i am taking medication to control it and also for hair regrowth but nothing seems to be helping now. I am still losing hair. Please advice.Thanks

Hi there,
Thankis for posting here.
Psoriasis per se does not cause hair fall. you appear to have telogen effluvium following typhoid.
You can use minoxidil 5% solution 1 ml daily and take biotin tablets for three months. you need four months to recover.
You can consult a good dermatologist who may help you further.
Take care.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
Dr Shilpa Bhat. Dermatologist.
