Suggest Treatment For Severe Hairfall
I am 19 years old, I was a heavy hair gel user since i was 15, for the past 2 years i have been experiencing some serious hair fall. My hair density has decreased by lot. i stopped using hair gels about 6 months ago.
I have also developed dandruff on my scalp.
I have cut my hair very short to prevent further hairfall, but i need my hair density to get back to normal.
After consulting dermatologist i was prescribed.
8X shampoo (Once a week)
Biotin capsules (After dinner for 30 days)
Ketol-200 (after breakfast for 10 days)
Acutret-5 (after dinner for 30 days)
Do you feel this is sufficient to treat hair fall and promote the regrowth of hair?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
The treatment of hair fall is aimed to strengthen the hair roots and to control the dandruff.
For dandruff control, anti-dandruff shampoo has to be used.
Your dermatologist has prescribed you the anti-dandruff shampoo and anti-fungal preparation since dandruff is a fungal infection.
Certain amino acids and vitamins are used to provide strength to the hair roots.
Biotin, glycine and L-cysteine are used for providing strength to the hair roots.
The medication given to you is appropriate.
You can add L-cysteine and glycine for providing strength to the hair roots.
Thanks and take care
