Brief Answer:
Management of male pattern baldness
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
Pantoprazole and use of head phones don't cause thinning and loss of hair.
If you are experiencing thinning and loss of hair in the crown region and frontal region of the scalp then you have developed male pattern baldness.
It is a hormone dependant hair loss occuring in genetically predisposed individuals.
It is diagnosed clinically and no laboratory tests are required in routine.
But if you still want to confirm it you can go for a scalp biopsy.
It is usually treated with minoxidil 5 percent lotion. The dose is 1ml twice daily along with tablet finasteride 1 mg once daily.
Along with these few new therapies available for male pattern baldness are platelet rich plasma therapy and Dermaroller sessions.
Multiple sessions are required and these are used as adjuvant to topical therapy.
For all this you need to consult a dermatologist and start the treatment under the doctor's supervision.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
