Suggest Treatment For Patchy Hair Loss
My niece is 17 years old. About 4 years ago, she started losing hair on the front. Gradually, she is left with patchy hair growth and thin and short hair. She has been taking Siddha medicine treatments like hair packs and oils, but in vain! Please advise how to go about treating the problem.
