Hello doctor! My maternal uncle is suffering from severe hair fall. I mean it is causing a baldness at the center head. It is not hereditary because my grandfather never had this baldness problem. my uncle doesn't smoke does drink alcohol.he doesn't even consume junk foods. He never had any treatment for this. Right now he is not in any medical surveillance.He doesn't have dandruff problem. If you help him we will be very grateful. Thank you.

He is suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts receeding  from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. It is usually accompanied by severe dandruff which we call seborrhoea. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is the best. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised  and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects of DHT on the hair roots. Please call me or  contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment. Do not start treatment without consulting. I can give guidance and then you can continue treatment on your own.
