What Are Test Should I Get For Hair?
Question: I want to consult a dermatologist as my hair is falling a lot since few months, should I get any tests done? If you have an expert, please get in touch.
Brief Answer:
Minoxidil and Follihair
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for the query and photographs.
You have developed androgenetic alopecia.
It is very common in males.
The only definitive treatment is hair transplant however the progression of hair loss can be halted with the use of medication.
Use minoxidil 5% + finasteride lotion 0.1% ( Hair 4 U pro) over your scalp twice daily under doctor's supervision.
Take tablet follihair daily in night.
Do this for at least 6 months to get good results.
Post which you can stop follihair but you must continue with minoxidil.
If you stop minoxidil, hairfall will resume.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
