Suggest Remedies For Hair Fall

Good Day, I desperately need your help please. I use to have healthy long hair but that changed in the past year when I started loosing a considerable amount of hair...and I mean loads of it. Now my hairline is non-existent and my central hair area has hairless patches due to hair loss. This has been causing me a lot of stress and have no idea what to do! I have consulted a homeopathic doctor and he gave me R89...said I should take 15 drops (in my mouth) 3 time a day before meals...please advise if this is an ideal medicine and which other over the counter supplements, foods & shampoo/moisturizers can I take/use to speed up the hair loss remedy process. I am an African lady, 31y/o, with naturally afro hair (well, the little that s left of it). Also, I have been on low carbs/no sugar & salt diet and have been taking Duromines for the past year...is any of the a catalyst in this hair loss problem? Please help...this problem is starting to affect me badly. Kind Regards, Balding Anonymous

Hi,

You seem to suffer from female pattern baldness. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

I would advise you to apply minoxidil 2% solution twice a day for a few years. Take biotin tablet 10 mg daily.

Cap vitamin E 400 mg daily may be taken. Keep hygiene of scalp good by cleansing the scalp with ketoconazole-containing shampoo.

Keep the mood relaxed. Have a healthy diet.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist
