How And Why I Am Not Able To Control The Hair ?

Posted on Wed, 16 Oct 2024

Question: Hi Doc,
I am not able to control the hair fall from past 4-5 years.I don't know the reason behind this.I never took any medication for this.I tried home remedies multiple times but nothing worked for me.
I thought it is because of dandruff that is causing hair fall but these days I don't have dandruff still hair fall is there.I don't know about the vitamins that can cause hair fall.
Food: I am taking a proper diet.I don't eat fast food at all.
Water: For hair wash, I use very neat and clean water but In the past I also used hard water as well.
Please suggest any exercise as well.

Brief Answer:
Minoxidil

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Hair fall in males is mainly controlled by androgen ( hormone). In few people it starts early while in some the onset is late.
Hair fall can only be controlled and decreased to some extent by use of medication.
You can use the following.
1. Minoxidil 5 % lotion 1 ml twice daily application
2. Tablet Biotin 10 mg daily in night
3. Tablet Iron daily in morning
The above medication is safe and effective.
Use these for at least 6 months to get good results.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
