What Is The Treatment Of Hair Loss ?
I was told that one of the symptoms of down syndrome is severe hair lost? I have a sister that has down sydrome and she is losing her hair, I suggest that she see a dermatologist, but I was told that it wouldn t be necessary because it s a trait of down syndrome. I never heard that. Please help.

Hi.
As per your case history of hairfall.
My treatment advice is –
1. Take good nutritious diet full of green leafy vegetables and milk.
2. Use a good herbal shampoo and coconut hair oil for regular use.
3. Take an iron supplement once daily and vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
4. Other treatment options are topical minoxidil, oral finasteride and mesotherpy done by a dermatologist.
Thanks.
