Hey..Im a 25 year old guy..I recently moved in to middle-east and since then im having a nightmare controlling my hair thickness and grey hair ... Im going bald in the top centre to the front of my head and grey hair appearing on the sides. I have been advised to take Ferrobiotron Multi Vitamin and i have been using it since last 2 weeks but didnt see any results. Im shaving my head every 2 weeks to keep m hair short for better nutrition. Please advise.

Hello Abrar.
The pattern of your baldness (top centre to front) indicates androgenic alopecia. It is the common male pattern baldness affecting 30% of all male population by age of 30 years.
Two medicines are approved for use in this condition and give good results in majority of patients. These are finasteride and minoxidil, which you can try after consulting your doctor. Please note that it takes up to three months for the results to show. Greying of hair is usually idiopathic and not much can be done about it. If your diet is zinc deficient, you can take supplements for that.
Regrowth of lost hair is usually not possible with medicines. If you wish to regrow hair in bald area, hair transplantation is the only solution.
Best regards,
Dr. Sharad Mishra
