Brief Answer:
Treatment for hair loss
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking Health Care Magic Forum
I have gone through your query.While considering the pattern of hair fall you have, you are most likely having a male pattern hair loss.I also recommend you to rule out an Iron deficiency anemia and hypothyroidism which also can cause thinning of hair and hair loss.You can do a haemoglobin count and TSH blood tests for that.
For male pattern hair loss i advise my patients with minoxidil lotion for local application.It is one product which is unanimously used by all dermatologists. It is to be started with 2% lotion applied over the scalp once or twice in day.
It is to be applied when the scalp is dry. Only 1 ml is sufficient to be applied at the root of hair in frontal region. If for one month there is no burning and irritation then we increase the percentage to 5 % to 10% gradually. The same we do to taper off the medicine. That means we do not stop the medicine at once and gradually taper it off to 5% and then 2% and then alternate day or off and application of lotion before stopping it completely.
I prefer to give a tablet containing biotin and other essential nutrients along with minoxidil.I also recommend them to have a nourishing diet for hair growth.It is good to eat different fruit saplings,pulses,over night soaked almonds,milk and milk products.Avoid stress and have light and relaxing exercises everyday.
Oxygen treatments are used nowadays.But the effects in different types of hair loss it is controversial.
Hope this may help you.Let me know if you have any follow up or further query.
I am happy to help you.Thanks.
