I m 22 M. Am having a problem of gaps in my hair on head they are increasing. A year ago i got shaved my head, after few days my head started itching and later on there wear gaps on my head initially on back side as days are passing it went to the left side behind my ear.I went to a doctor and he said to apply HALOX 10mg twice a day,after 3 months gaps were gone :). Recently i went to a temple n again got shaved my head and the same problem is raising with heavy dandruff and the gaps are increasing on my entire head. what should i do? Why its happening with me? How to fix it permanently?

Hello,

Gaps commonly occur between hairs due to hair-fall. Hairfall may be related to genetic factors, mineral & vitamin deficiencies, dandruff, etc. You are suggested to keep your scalp clean, use Selsun shampoo regularly. After shampoo keep your hair and scalp oiled with almond or coconut oil (massage it with your finger tips gently).

Take vitamin A, D & iron rich food or supplements to reduce hair fall. Take biotin (vitamin B7), it is good for hair and skin. If the hair follicle is intact, new hairs will grow. You can use Minoxidil (Rogaine), rub or spray it in your scalp twice daily. Finasteride (Propecia) is a pill that you take once a day. You can also visit a dermatologist or a surgeon to get hair transplants done.

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

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
