Hair loss treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Welcome back.
I understand that your hairline has been receding despite using minoxidil.
I do not think there is any contraindication to use hair -4-u lotion under different weather conditions
The other option for you is to start on oral finasteride tablets. This is given at a dosage of 1 mg and is safe and well tolerated. This will arrest the hair fall and help newer hair growth. We usually reserve this for cases who do not respond to minoxidil. But you have to get this prescribed by a doctor as this is not an over the counter medicine. I feel once you come back to XXXXXXX you can get it. Otherwise , you may have to ask a GP there to prescribe it.
Do continue with the medicines till you come back to XXXXXXX
Hope this helps you.
Take care.

Hi Sir,
Thanks for your reply.
Here the doctors are not much helpful they not even know what is minoxdil and they wont help me to get finasteride
I just wanted to tell you the total history of mine i was facing lot of hair loss some years ego this is related to genetic disorder.
I went to a Dermatologist and it was well controlled and my hair was good and i am using medicines since 2 years.
While i was coming to Denmark i asked my Dermatologist to give medicines for this period and he advised me to continue hair 4 u 10% and Alpecin Shampoo with finpecia tablets.
I came here on April-8th and started facing the hair loss from 1st week itself when i asked my dermatologist he asked me to take Radience-H and luckily one of my colleague was coming to Denmark at that time and helped me to get Radiance H capsules.
The suppliments i am using
(Morning-Vitamin-D, Vitamin-B12 Afternoon-Radience-H Night-Hair 4 u 10%
,Vitamin-B12 and Nizoral Shampoo)
I will get Bitoin tomorrow as i have ordered it should i take 1 per day?
I have trimmed my hair 3-4 times in this 5 months should i go for it once again for the remaining 40 days will this help something?
I have attached 3 pics sir taken in this 4 months i have named with dates.
Will my hair get back as it in the first pic once i am back to India?

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
I have gone through your complete history and seen your picture in the chronological order.
I also understand your frustration as it is difficult to get these medicines there.
I feel that there has been a mild recession in your hairline in the front and sides.
Have you stopped Finpacea tablets after going to Denmark? That could be the cause for the progress of hair fall. In that case, once your restart the tablet after coming back to XXXXXXX hair fall will improve.
To answer your queries, you can start biotin tablets at the dosage of 1 tablet per day.
Trimming will not help you in any way. In fact, if you grow it, you will be able to cover the front and sides so that the receding hair line will not be obvious. So I would suggest you to grow your hair.
The cause for this, as you have already written is genetic. It is a hereditary type of hair loss mediated by hormones. It is already embedded in your genes. Treatment can only preserve the existing hairs and slowly help new hair growth. But once you stop it, your genes will again come into action to start the hair recession.
It is difficult to predict how each person's hair behaves. In general, with treatment, most of them have good hair re-growth. If you are very much concerned about the frontal hair line, you could consult a plastic surgeon about hair transplantation.
You could get a plastic surgeon in healthcare magic forum itself to answer your queries. Attach the same photographs for his assessment.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
Hair fall treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Finpacea is the best drug to treat male pattern hair fall. Do take it regularly.
Do not take excessive dosage. The recommended dosage is 1 mg and you should stick to it.
It will take about 4 weeks for the action to start.
The area which is completely bald will not regrow the hair. That is the reason I advised you to consult a plastic surgeon for hair transplantation.
However, you can grow your hair and cover the front part. In some people, along with the hairline receding, hair will not even grow to a good length. You are lucky that hair length is growing very well. So use it to cover the front.
Hope this clears your doubts.
Take care.

There is no special diet or any dietary restriction for your type of hair loss which is hereditary.
In general, you can have a balanced and nutritious diet rich in protein like eggs.
Have lots of fresh fruits and vegetables as these are rich in anti- oxidants.

Hi Sir,
Thanks for your reply.
I just want to have 2 more questions lastly.
1. As you said In general, with treatment, most of them have good hair re-growth i totally agree with this sir as i am also one of them and don't know why the same medicines are not working here.
2. As i said before that i have trimmed my hair 3-4 times and the last trim i have made is on 3-JUL-14 and in 1 month the hair is regrown a bit as you can see the latest pic of mine i want to grow hair but not here in Denmark Sir If i trim the hair again will the hair which is grown in a month last time will the same happen again so that once i go back can do something in XXXXXXX as we have options there?
Is that a good decision?

Hello XXXXXXX
1. There is no specific reason which I could give as to why hair fall has increased in Denmark. But probably not taking Finpacea could be a cause.
2. Trimming your hair does not directly affect your hair fall. So you could do what you have described above.
Do not worry. It will normalise once you restart Finpacea regularly.

Hello XXXXXXX
Weather does not have any direct effect on hair and hair fall. So do not worry about the cold weather. Enjoy it while you are there.
Even with short and trimmed hairs, the normal hair fall count per day is 50-100. It does nor depend on the hair length. Hair will be going through a dynamic cycle with resting and growing phases. The resting hairs which fall normally is 50-100 irrespective of hair length.
Hope this answers your queries.
Have a nice day.
