Suggest Treatment For Hair Loss

Hello Doctor, I m.having a severe hair loss prob, took a thyroid test and in the result the thyroid stimulating harmone count is 0.003 uml, also went to a dermatologist he suggested me mx-5 solution along with Androfol tablet, after using mx-5 solution I feel more itchiness in my scalp and have a hairball, my hair started thinning now. Its been 1 week since I started using the solution, I don t understand which shampoo to use, any shampoo that I use makes my hair frizzy. Please suggest what needs to be done in this condition. Am I using the right medicine? I m 24 yrs old now. Really worried I get depressed by seeing my hair

Hi,

Hair Loss might be due to many conditions like effects of hormone testosterone or androgen, thyroid disorders, anemia and nutritional deficiency, malabsorption etc. From the history, thyroid disorders is ruled out. I advise you to take:
- Diet or supplements rich in biotin, protein, vitamins, iron and also fatty acids
- Also, if you allergic to the prescribed medication, you can then follow the different formula like 82M. They are more effective on hair and scalp. They have retinoic acid, anti-inflammatory and moisturising effects
- Repeat thyroid function test every 6 months once

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya Vasudevan, General & Family Physician
