Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi Santhoshrs150,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. It is usual for hair to thin and decrease in density at your age in those who have a family history of baldness. If your male family members have tendency to baldness then it runs in your family.

2. Stress related anxiety can also cause loss of hair. Please reduce stress at work and in daily life.

3. You can apply minoxidil lotion 5 percent (sold as MINTOP FORTE topical solution) and you can apply 1 to 2 ml twice daily on your scalp in the area where there is thinning of hair. Please consult a doctor if you develop any allergy.

4. Taking biotin capsules (sold as FOLLIHAIR) once a day for few months is also recommended. This is vitamin B 7 and minerals and helps in growth of hair and nails.

5. If there is persistent hair fall after few years then hair transplant is a good option.

Wishing you good health.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.

Brief Answer:
Avoid stress and any harmful chemicals on the hair

Detailed Answer:
Hi Santhoshrs150,
Thanks for writing back with an update.

Male pattern baldness is also influenced by genes from your mothers side. So if your maternal uncles and grandfather have less hair then it might occur with you also.

Anyways, presently the problem of baldness has more to do with stress, pollution and use of chemicals on hair. If you had typhoid in recent times then that can also cause hairloss after 6 months. Please do not worry too much. The treatment will take time.

Hope your query is answered.
