How Can Male Pattern Baldness Be Treated?

Hello Doctor , I am a 35 yr old male suffering from Male Pattern Baldness . For me, it s not genetic as absolutely nobody in my family has ever had any hair related problems. I have consulted dermatologists and have been advised to consume Keraglo , Finax and Zincofer tablets. I have started taking Keraglo and Zincofer . Finax , I understand , has a lot of side-effects ; hence I am not started consuming it. Additionally, I have been advised to apply lotions like Grocapix, Ultitar and Zycafe solutions. I have started applying Grocapix and not the other 2 . Would you pls advise if I am taking the right medicines ? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

Well, effective treatments for some types of hair loss are available. But some hair loss is permanent. If your hair loss is caused by an underlying disease, treatment for that disease will be necessary. This may include drugs to reduce inflammation and suppress your immune system, such as prednisone. But also, 2 medications are used for treatment and include minoxidil and Finasteride. If there is no success with these then hair transplant or restoration surgery can make the most of the hair you have left.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
