Brief Answer:
Hi again
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
If the hair line is receding then it seems that hair loss is happening more than normal. Since it is not present in other members of the family, it does not seem to be hereditary or male-pattern baldness. In
male pattern baldness the hair loss is typically on the forehead. Hair near the neck are unaffected.
It may be for other reasons like nutritional deficiencies, frequent or medicated shampoos, stress, dandruff, medicines, anemia,
diabetes, lupus or thyroid issues. I would suggest some basic blood tests like hemogram, thyroid profile,
hemoglobin level, fasting blood sugar levels, serum
testosterone levels, etc.
Unfortunately, there is nothing much available to restore hair growth and stop hair loss.
Minoxidil may be effective to a variable extent in you. Hair transplants are done in some clinics and be helpful.
My advice will be as follows:
- You can try biotin capsules 5 mg once daily for 3 months
- Take nutritious diet including fruits and vegetables up to 5 times a day
- Do not use medicated shampoos especially antidandruff shampoos
- Try ayurvedic oil that contains brahmi like Brahmi bhringaraj taila from XXXXXXX XXXXXXX ayurveda.
Hope it helps.
