Will REVILUS Tablet Be Safe For Hair Fall Issue?

Hello Doctor, I have lost lot of hair on my crown, now my scalp is easily visible. My problem is not hereditary, everyone in my family has good dense hair. I am 28 and getting married in next 3 months. I am planning to take REVILUS tablets, eat Walnuts everyday and apply a Walnut oil or Saw Palmetto oil on the affected area regularly. Will this help?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic

After going through your query I suggest a possibility of androgenetic alopecia.
Hair loss in androgenetic alopecia mainly affects the front and crown part of the scalp.
There may also be gradual recession of anterior hair line and widening and deepening of angles of anterior hair line.
Family history is positive in most, however, absence of family history in close relatives like father, brother does not exclude this possibility.
Presence of family history in uncles, nephews and cousins is also significant.
Specific treatment for androgenetic alopecia includes topical minoxidil and oral finasteride.
The goal of treatment is to arrest further progression therefore it is important to begin therapy as soon as possible.
The tablet you are inquiring about is a biotin supplement.
While it would help in supporting hair regrowth but itself it would not be sufficient in addressing the problem.
You may nevertheless take this tablet along with specific treatment for androgenetic alopecia.
I suggest that you visit a dermatologist for a confirmatory diagnosis as well as appropriate prescription.

Regards
