hi. i understand that hairs are an important part of our appearance. hair loss is a very common problem. i see a lot of young patients in my opd everyday with similar problem.hair loss in a male starting at your age is most commonly androgenic alopecia also known as male pattern baldness. it usually starts around the age of 20 years. what you need to understand is androgenic alopecia(AGA) is a chronic disorder. we can reduce your hair fall with medicines. but the effects last only till you use these medications. the condition goes back to pretreatment phase once you stop treatment. the most effective and well proven treatment for AGA is minoxidil and finasteride. i usually prescribe 5% minoxidil solution, 1ml to be applied twice daily. plus tab finasteride 1mg once a day. also i add a biotin based multivitamin for first three months. patients usually report very good response with the above regimen. studies conducted for greying of hairs have shown efficacy of only two compounds, PABA and pantothenic acid. you can take a multivitamin containing biotin, PABA and pantothenic acid. i suggest you meet your dermatologist and discuss with him/her regarding the above medications. hope this was helpful. for any further queries please get back to us. thanks.
