Suggest Remedy For Hair Loss Post Breast Cancer Treatment

Hello, I am a breast cancer survivor (9 years) and feel frustrated and sad because I lost 1/3 of my hair after taking Tamoxifen. As up to now I have been trying Nioxin, Ovation, organic deep scalps follicle spray (John Masters)...but none has helped my hair to grow. Can you tell me what else can I do to help hair growth? Thank you.

Dermatologist 's  Response
The possible treatment option for your hair loss includes topical minoxidil. Topical minoxidil should be used in 2 percent concentration twice a day. Tablets containing Biotin may also help. Avoid excess stress as it may also aggrevate hair fall.Take plenty of fruits and vegetables in your diet.Regards
