Suggest Treatment For Seborrhoeic Dermatitis And Hair Loss
My daughter who is almost 16 years old, has seborrhoeic dermatitis because of which she is having a lot of hair loss. She has been taking medicines from Dr Batra s for the last 18 months with very little improvement. Recently the homeopath advised her to take adgain , once a day, along with regular homeopathic medicines. Is adgain safe for a 16 years old? Does it lead to hair growth on face and body parts? Which side effects should I be watching out for? How long should it be taken? When do I stop it? Thanks
Well, effective treatments for some types of hair loss are available. But some hair loss is permanent. If your hair loss is caused by an underlying disease, treatment for that disease will be necessary. This may include drugs to reduce inflammation and suppress your immune system, such as prednisone. But also, 2 medications are used for treatment and include minoxidil and Finasteride. If there is no success with these then hair transplant or restoration surgery can make the most of the hair you have left.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
