Hello,
As per your case history, you are suffering from female pattern baldness.
My treatment advice is:
1. Use a good herbal hair oil and shampoo for routine use.
2. Take an iron supplement and vitamin B12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
3. Apply a Minoxidil 2 % solution twice daily on scalp.
4. Other treatment options are oral multivitamins and mesotherapy done by a Dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
