What Is The Treatment For Hair Loss?

Hi Doctor
i am 24 year guy from Mumbai working a S/w company. Offlate i have noticed lot of Hair fall and thinning of hair especially in the middle portion of the Scalp. I dont know from how long i was losing my hair but it was prominent since the time i suffered from Malaria. Now i have started Dr batras Homeopathy treatment but there is no significant result and i continue to experience thinning, i dont quite understand what should i do since it disturbs me very badly at times. I have learnt that Mintop Forte is good solution since it promotes hair growth. Is it safe to use it since many users have given negative feedback for this along with Positive ones too.

Dermatologist 's  Response

Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
I appreciate your concern regarding hair fall. Hair fall is usually ascribed to multiple factors like diet and nutrition, hormones, stress, cosmetic products etc.
From your description, it seems you might be having Male pattern hair loss or Androgenteic alopecia, which is due to male hormone, testosterone.
If i were your dermatologist/trichologist, i would like to take through history including family history, history of recent major trauma/illness/stress/medications etc, and recommend some basic investigations like CBC,blood sugar, Thyroid function test.
I would suggest you a course of oral tablets containing biotin and other essential vitamins and minerals for minimum 3-6 months. Also, would put you on solution/foam containing 10% minoxidil (Mintop 10 foam)once a day and a hair serum containing peptides for hair growth at night.(Q sera etc). Finateride (FInalo) can be used in selected patients after thorough counselling and checking your liver function. Finasteride, inhibits metabolism of testosterone at hair root level. It sometime leads to embarrassing side effects like impotency, decrease in semen volume but which are totally reversible on stopping the drug.I would advise you use of gentle shampoo and conditioner on regular basis and use of coconut oil twice a week.
Avoid combing in wet hair and let them dry by wrapping in towel. Avoid blow dryers and hair-color/dyes. Take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet and try to de-stress your routine life.
Hope your queries are resolved and wish you best of health.
Thank you
Dr Hardik Pitroda
