Hello dr., i m a 21 year old indian girl. Doing final year M.B.B.S. As u know it s so stressfull study that i almost can t afford even 15 min to myself. suffering from frontal alopecia and thinning hair. My questions are: 1) my dad and uncle have frontal alopecia so did me nd my sister too. so its a hereditry thing. Can i get those edges back in such genetic condition? 2) due to a stressfull life i can t pay much attention to hair. can t reduce the stress factor. but any hair lotion, shampoo and oral medication which can assure thick hair growth as i used to have in 15th? 3) i have tried many home remedies like oil massage, vitamin E capsule massage, onion juice and so on. But haven t found result. are they effective? 4) i want to mention here that i used to have long thick hair when my mom was taking care of my hair. Though i have grey strands because it s also a genetic predisposition from my mom :( any organic hair colour, which can hide my greys without damaging? i m so much upset. almost lost my confidence. plsss help me out. want my hair back:(

Hi,
As per your complaint, hair fall can occur due to a number of causes like androgenic alopecia caused due to the sensitivity of hair follicles to androgenic hormones and genetics while other causes come under telogen effluvium caused by a fungal infection, nutritional deficiency, stress, long-standing illness, side effects of medicines. You should consult a trichologist and get evaluated and he can advise you investigations like hormonal assay, blood tests, trichogram, dermoscopy to rule out the exact cause of the problem and treat you accordingly.
You can be advised to apply Minoxidil lotion over the scalp. You can be advised to take Biotin and multivitamin supplements. You can also be advised to take Finasteride orally if there is androgenic alopecia as it suppresses androgens. You should massage the scalp with warm coconut oil. You should take a nutritious diet and drink plenty of water. ou can also look for platelet-rich plasma and mesotherapy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
