Suggest Treatment For Male Pattern Baldness

Suddenly my hairs have started falling at a very great pace, which could have been due to sudden change in food habits and the water,since I have moved to hostel. It seems to me as a case of male baldness as the hairs are thining from the front side and the back of the head. My age is 20 years.

Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain hairloss can occur due to causes like hormonal causes and genetic origin and is known as Androgenic Alopecia or Male Pattern Baldness..
Other causes can be nutritional deficiency,long standing illness, stress, side effects of drugs, cosmetic hair products etc..
I would suggest you to consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and he can advise you investigations like complete blood picture, hormonal assy, Trichogram, dermoscopy etc..
I would suggest you to apply 5% Minoxidil lotion over the scalp..
You can also take Biotin and multivitamin supplements..
In case if it is due to Androgenic alopecia you can be advised to take Finesteride that is helpful in reducing hairfall by suppressing hormones..
You can also take more of green leafy vegetables and fruits in diet and can also drink plenty of water..
You should keep the scalp clean and wash every alternate day..
You should avoid vigorous rubbing or scrubbing the scalp..
Comb your hairs gently..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
