Does Taking Biotin Tablets Help Reducing Hairloss?
I used to have a thick hair, but it is thinning rapidly now. My scalp is being visible. I am afraid that i'll get bald very early though my father is not bald. Can you tell me how to grow hair thick as it used to be??I heard that taking biotin tablets works. Is it true??

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
It is important to establish the type of hair fall and also to determine the probable cause of hair fall before starting any treatment. Biotin, in general helps to strengthen your hair and nails. You could try oral supplements containing 5 mg of biotin along with cysteine and methionine. However, do consult a good dermatologist who could help you in assessing the type of hair fall and suggest long term treatment.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
