Suggest Treatment For Receding Hairline And Hair Loss

Posted on Mon, 24 Aug 2015

Question: I am losing hair and my hairline has receded quite a bit at the front. I am worried and would like to know how to stop hair loss. I don't have any male relatives losing hair at such an early age. I follow a vegetarian diet.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
You seem to have developed male pattern hair loss called androgenetic alopecia .
Start application of minoxidil 5 percent lotion one ml twice daily over the affected areas of scalp .
Take tablet biotin once daily .
Continue the above treatment for atleast three months to see a good response .
It will stop any further loss of hair and also might help in regaining some lost hair .
Take a protein rich diet .
I am sure it will help you .

Hi Dr XXXXXXX

Thanks for your response. I would like to know whether the lotion should be applied only on the bare patches or even where there is less growth of hair in terms of density.

Thanks,
XXXX
