Hello Rohit,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
I appreciate your concern regarding
hair fall. Hair fall is usually ascribed to multiple factors like diet and nutrition, hormones, stress, cosmetic products etc.
From your description, it seems you might be having Male pattern hair loss or Androgenteic alopecia, which is due to male hormone,
testosterone.
If i were your dermatologist/trichologist, i would like to take through history including family history, history of recent major trauma/illness/stress/medications etc, and recommend some basic investigations like CBC,blood sugar, Thyroid function test.
Since you are already taking
finasteride and applying
minoxidil, i would insist you to continue treatment with little alterations in your regimen. Instead of Finasteride (Finax) enquire about
Dutasteride tablets and instead of 5% minoxidil change to 10 % minoxidil.
Additionally, I would suggest you a course of oral tablets containing biotin and other essential
vitamins and minerals for minimum 6 months. Also, would recommend you a hair serum containing peptides for hair growth at night.(Q sera etc).
In my patients of Androgenetic alopecia, i also treat them using
platelet-rich plasma every 15 days for 4-6 months. It has shown to be very effective upcoming treatment modality.
I would advise you use of gentle shampoo and conditioner on regular basis and use of coconut oil twice a week.
Avoid combing in wet hair and let them dry by wrapping in towel. Avoid blow dryers and hair-color/dyes.
Take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet and try to de-stress your routine life.
Hope your queries are resolved and wish you best of health.
