Hello dear,

The presence of heat boils in scalp & hair loss may be inter-related & can be attributed to:
1. Decreased immune status of the body
2. Inadequate dietary intake of essential nutrients
3. Reduced nutrition supply to the hair follicles
4. Infection/inflammation of hair follicles causing their destruction & subsequent hair loss.

Management includes:
1. Treating the underlying cause
2. Avoidance of stress
3. Dietary modifications
4. Minoxidil solution to be applied locally to stimulate the hair follicles
5. Multivitamin & multi mineral supplementation- as already advised by your Doctor

These medications have to be used regularly under the guidance of a Dermatologist, as hair loss tends to return on stoppage of these medications.
And before initiation of these medications, the problem of scalp infection should be addressed.

There is no need to worry.
Your hairs will grow back again.

Wishing you a Good Health.
Thanks & take care.
