Suggest Treatment For Patchy Baldness

Hi, I have patchy baldness at the front of my head. I have had this is for a few years now. I have been to the GP about this and once I have given Polytar which didn't work, and then when I went again I was given another shampoo which also did not work. The rest of the hair on my head is ok, it's just this area. I have left it thinking that it would grow back, but nothing. It is knocking my confidence and just want a solution. Please help thanks.

Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of patchy baldness which seems to be due to the sensitivity of hair follicles to androgenic hormones leading to the destruction of hair follicles. It could be due to genetic factors and poor nutritional hygiene as well.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you do an application of Mintop lotion and massage it in a proper way. I would suggest you consult a Trichologist and get a complete examination done and start treatment after proper examination.

You should take Biotin and Multivitamin supplements and take Finasteride orally. Massage your scalp with warm coconut oil. Maintain proper hygiene.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
