Hello,

Welcome to Health Care Magic.

Thanks for writing.

I am Dr.Saddiq ul Abidin. I have read you question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.

Baldness is a cosmetic issue. If you're okay with your look then its fine otherwise science has improved so far to help you out. There are many drugs like Minoxidil and vitamins like VB 7 forte that you're already taking. However, you can also use Finasteride. It slows hair loss by interfering with the highly active form of testosterone that causes baldness. But hair loss return when you stop it.
So if I were your attending doctor I would have suggested you Hair Transplant. The basic technique is to remove some hair follicles from the are of dense hair growth where hair continue to grow and placing them on the are of baldness. The maximum associated side effects would be infection or scaring. But you can have your hair back.





I hope this answered your question.If you have more queries I am happy to answer.Otherwise rate and close the discussion
