Anti Dandruff Shampoo
I had severe dandruff way back so I went to doctor and was prescribed anti dandruff shampoo ( novale-ct). Now after applying that shampoo , my dandruff has been cured. But hairfall happens as my hairs got weak and thin and I also take multivitamins ( keraglo men ) which was prescribed by dr too . There is some improvement but my hairs are not getting thicker and there is some area on scalp which is uncovered and hairs are not coming there . I apply hair serum ( folliserum ) which was prescribed my dr and dr said apply this and you will get improvement. Please suggest any medication which can improve my hair thickness and density . Also suggest should I continue using anti dandruff Shampoo ( novale ct ) .

Noted your concerns. Hair thickness and hair growth need time. If your diagnosis is FPHL then it might take longer time. So be in touch with your doc and follow his instructions or do online consultation with a Trichologist becz it needs detailed evaluation. Anti dandruff shampoo you can continue once a week or change over to other anti dandruff if the earlier one is not effective.

**Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia):**
**Overview:**
Male pattern baldness is a hereditary condition that affects the hair follicles and is influenced by genetics and hormones, particularly DHT. It follows a specific pattern of hair loss, often beginning with a receding hairline and thinning at the crown.
**Symptoms:**
1. Receding hairline
2. Thinning at the crown
3. Gradual hair loss, leading to baldness
**Causes:**
1. Genetic factors
2. Hormonal changes, specifically the influence of DHT
3. Age-related factors
**Preventive Measures:**
1. Early intervention with medications
2. Regular check-ups with a healthcare professional
**Considerations:**
Consult with a dermatologist or healthcare professional to determine the most suitable treatment based on individual health and factors contributing to hair loss.
It's important to note that not all individuals experience the same progression of male pattern baldness, and treatment effectiveness can vary. Early intervention often yields better results.

For hairfall, a complete and thorough examination of the scalp and hair is required by a dermatologist. Please do a consultation. You can continue using anti dandruff shampoo once a week for maintenance.
