Suggest Remedy For Hair Fall

Hi Doctor,I have regular hair fall and then I had typhoid in April and now I am facing severe hair loss. I visited a dermatologist who said i had alopecia areata and after effects of typhoid. M taking curlzvit, solfe,well woman and tugain 2% along with a healthy diet (nuts, fruits,milk,vegetables) but my hair fall is not stopping. For how long will this hair fall continue after typhoid and will this hair grow back? Is there anything specifically i should do for regrowth of hair.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history you are having alopecia aerata, my treatment advice is -

1. Take good nutritious diet full of green leafy vegetables and milk.
2. Apply a tacrolimus 0.03 %ointment twice daily on affected skin.
3. Take an iron supplement and vitamin B12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
4. Other treatment options are oral steroid like Prednisone or Betamethasone taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

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