Hello,
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, acute or chronic medical conditions,drugs,cosmetic products etc.
Androgenetic
alopecia is a type of progressive hairfall due to influence of your genetic and
hormonal factors.
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, your menstrual history and recommend some basic investigations like CBC,blood sugar,
Thyroid function test.
I would suggest you a course of oral tablets containing biotin and other essential
vitamins and minerals for minimum 3-4 months. Also, would put you on solution containing 5%
minoxidil once a day and a hair serum containing peptides for hair growth at night.(Q sera etc). I would advise use of gentle shampoo and conditioner on regular basis and use of coconut oil twice a week.
Also enquire from your dermatologist about upcoming treatment options like mesotherapy and
platelet-rich plasma.
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.
Thank you
Dr Hardik Pitroda
