There are many reasons for hairfall or thinning of hair on the scalp. So first and foremost we have to find the cause with the help of detailed history and examination. Some of the common causes are nutritional deficiency, hormonal causes like androgenic alopecia or patterned baldness, hypothyroidism, telogen effluvium etc. Unless we find and treat the cause there is no point in giving non specific treatment. Oils or shampoos do not have any effect on hair growth as they are not absorbed in the skin. Moreover, you should never self treat with anything. Please send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription.

Hi. I definitely can understand your worry about the hair loss AND THE NEED FOR PRP. But firstly, one needs to know what is causing the hairloss? 1. Is there any genetic / hereditary cause? 2. Is it of recent onset? 3. Is it due to any nutritional deficiencies ? or due to any recent illness? Several factors play a role in hair fall and the genetic / hereditary balding is the commonest of all, especially in men. Something which I call the rule of 50! - Fifty percent of the world's men will be bald by the time they are fifty yrs old! However, Those destined to have herediatry baldness, the balding can be reduced partially or delayed. Thus long term hair treatment is a must in such cases! PRP is indeed a good option for hair loss, but first you must see a qualified dermatologist and understand why you are having hair loss!! AS FAR AS PRP IS CONCERNED, IT IS INDEED A GOOD FORM OF TREATMENT – BUT MUST BE USED WITH OTHER TREATMENTS – INCLUDING THE LOTIONS / TABLETS – FOR BEST RESULTS. ALSO MAKE SURE YOU GET THE TREATMENT BY A QUALIFIED DERMATOLOGIST ONLY! Warm regards, Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Therapeia Skin hair and ENT centre, Bengaluru (bengalurudermatologist on instagram)
