What Kind Of Diet And Medication Should I Have For Reducing Hair Loss?

Hi,
I am suffering from hairloss since almost 2 years and my scalp is almost visible from back side.
My hair growth is also stopped. The main reason is dandruff.
I am Using Mintop 5% once in night daily. And BTN Ultra tab daily in afternoon. And using Nizral shampoo 2% thrice in a week.
In diet I am having 4 eggs and 350 ml double toned milk daily.
Will it effective or I need to change anything in diet or treatment?

Hello friend,

You didnt mention about your age or sex.

What kind of work you are engaged in?

Actually hair loss is of different types and can be because of many causes.

By your description, it seems that you are suffering from ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA , it is patterned hair loss due to hormones.

Dandruff can also be a reason of hair loss but it leads to diffuse type of hair loss. for that, you can continue nizral shampoo .

If you are having Androgenetic alopecia, then Mintop is fine. But it has to be applied twice daily; 1 ml morning and 1 ml night time.

Moreover, it takes around 3 months atleast for it to show any improvement. So, continue it regularly.

Your diet is fine. YOu can add green vegetables and fruits allongwith.

Thanx

stay healthy
