How Can Hair Loss Be Treated?

I am 65 years old and my hair is thinning on top but not around the edges and bottom. It seems to have gotten brittle. Two of my three sons are losing hair and my dad lost it around the top. Is there anything other than rogaine to do? i would not spare any expense if there is something to keep from balding.

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have hair loss i.e alopecia which seems to be due to fungal infection, age related changes, poor hygiene, systemic pathology, stress and hormonal changes. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain cleanliness and take diet rich in multivitamins. Use sulfur containing shampoos as they are quite good at controlling this. Drink plenty of water and apply apply vitamin E oil at night. Apply onion juice once a week. Consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test and physical examination. Doctor may prescribe you drug like finpecia at least for 3-4 months. Take Indian goose berry powder with water once a day half tea spoon.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
