Baldness and shaving hair

2021-05-13 08:46:37
Hi, Currently I have male pattern baldness on the temple of my head. It's just starting now and I have enough hair on the top to cover the baldness. I have to shave my head for religious reasons, will I get back what I have right now or this shaving is going to be a permanent baldness? Will I be able to cover the patches later in the future too? How many months it generally take for the hair regrowth?

You will get back the hair you have now. It will take the usual amount of time as it would have taken if you didn't have the bald area

Not like that...You are suffering from hormonal changes causing Androgenetic alopecia causing hair fall. It's completely stoppable even regrowth of hair is possible with certain medications without any side effects. Treatment depends on the grade of hair loss. So, it's a must for diagnosing which grade, you are in for an effective treatment. Please  send photos of your head, by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
