Hello sir, I am 22 years old girl. I am suffering from alopecia for almost a year so i suffer lots of hair fall. A month back I noticed that my hands look hairy, and now it looks very prominent on my hands! I don t have any other associated symptoms and my menstruation is also normal.

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

Alopecia is a difficult disease to cure especially in females. You can try minoxidil 2% oil which has got good results in female alopecia. You can take finasteroid also but need prescription. If medical management fails, hair transplantation may be the option.

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

You can try minoxidil 2% oils twice daily basis. It is available as over the counter and it is quite effective in alopecia. You can also take zinc containing multi vitamins for better growth of hair follicles. If the medical management fails, hair transplantation will be the last resort. Consult a dermatologist and he will direct you accordingly.
