Hi,

It seems that most probably you may be having male pattern baldness also called androgenetic alopecia. I would like to say few things about androgenetic alopecia..It is an inherited condition, caused by a genetically determined sensitivity to the effects of dihydrotestosterone, or DHT in some areas of the scalp. DHT is believed to shorten the growth, or anagen, phase of the hair cycle, from a usual duration of 3-6 years to just weeks or months. This causes miniaturisation of the follicles, and producing progressively fewer and finer anagen hairs. The production of DHT is regulated by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. Initially the hairloss occurs in frontal area on both sides, then occipital area is invoved and gradually the whole scalp may be bald.

You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis.

I might treat my patients as below..

- finesteride tab 1 mg daily
- biotin 10 mg containing tab daily
- application of minoxidil solution 10% twice a day
- shampoo with ketoconazole contsining shampoo

The above treatment is not prescription. You may take treatment under observation of dermatologist.

Other diagnosis..alopecia totalis is also kept in mind. Intradermal triamcenolone 10 mg injection,neopsoralen lotion application,levamisole 50 mg tab,biotin..etc may be cosidered.

I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
