Suggest Treatment For Hair Loss
Hey Doc
I'm a 25 yr old girl. I have been suffering from the problem of Hair thinning and hair loss since past 12 trs. Though I was born with thick curly hair, but they were reduced to almost nothing when I entered my teens. earlier I never paid much attention to them and thought that i would regain my hair with the passage of time. when i turned 18, I became quite conscious of my apperance (as every other girl of my age is). This problem has been plaguing me since then.
I have tried a lot of medicines (under the dermatologist's vision) over a period of time, but, nothing worked out. As my hair are curly and un-manageable, I got them permanently straightned. I have been experiencing much more hairfall since then.
Also, i have developed a big patch (about 2 inches long and 1inch wide ) in the middle of my head (towards the back side).
Moreover, i have lost several hair in the crown area of my head (my hair have become so thin that one can virtually see my scalp).
I have been suffering from a low self esteem and avoid people/gatherings.
Please suggest me a sure shot way to arrest hairfall and increase the hairgrowth manifolds.
Thanks.

Hi,
I would recommend you to go for certain lab tests like haemoglobin, serum ferritin levels, serum vitamin D levels, serum vitamin B12 levels and thyroid function tests.
Start with minoxidil 2 per cent lotion on the affected areas of the scalp and take hair supplements like tablet follihair A.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
