My son who is 17 years old is experiencing high hair fall for the last two years. Baldness though not total, runs through hereditarily. He has already lost considerable hair on either side of his forehead. He has history of febrile fits upto the age of 12, dengue, primary complex and streptococus infection which affected his kidney. He has recovered from all these and leading a normal medicine free life now. Kindly advice whether he can be treated for the hair loss.
I would suggest to apply minoxidil 5% solution twice a day. And you may take finesteride tab 1 mg daily with biotin tab 10 mg daily for the long time. Have patience for the good result.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
