Suggest treatment for thinning of hair and hairfall

Posted on Mon, 18 May 2015

Question: Hi,

I have had thinning hair & hairfall at the front of my head for the last few years. I have visited a dermatologist and she has said it is a hormonal imbalance as I also have excessive facial hair and increased weight. Ultrasounds have ruled out PCOS. I have had numerous medications in the past to no avail.

Currently, she has prescribed Aldactone 50 once a day and a combination of Minokem & Anastim solutions.

Will my bald spot ever be cured? :(

Hormonal imbalance

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
You have been prescribed correct medication.
However any anti hair fall medication takes at least 3 months to show some response.
Your symptoms suggest that you have hormonal imbalance.
Have you got testosterone levels checked?
If yes please get it done and let me know the reports.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you.
