Suggest Treatment For Excessive Hair Loss In Forehead Region
Question: I have excessive hair fall, specially in the front forehead region
Brief Answer:
Andriogenetic alopecia; oral finasteride and topical minoxidil
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us.
I have taken note of your query and I have understood your concern.
You seem to have androgenetic alopecia.
Androgenetic alopecia is characterized by hair loss and thinning from the center (front, mid and vertex) of scalp.
There is gradual progression over the years.
Minoxidil 5% solution and Oral finasteride are approved remedies for this type of alopecia in males.
Goal of treatment is to arrest Or slow down progression and therefore early the therapy is initiated the better is the overall result.
Effects are usually appreciable after 2-3 months of regular use. Treatment is long term.
These are prescription drugs and therefore I suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your region for the needful.
Regards
