Hair baldness
I am suffering from fungal infection which results in baldness. It makes me so embarrased when it comes infront of others.. I cant even visit saloons for treatments. I have consulted many skin specialists but they said skin cells are dead due to infection and there will b no growth and for growth there need to b injected. Please suggest me what i should do..

Fungal infection does not affect scalp in adults. There are many reasons for hair fall. 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. Please call me or send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription
