Hair growth problem
I am 22. But the growth on my hair has stopped at the center of my scalp. I asked my hair stylist and he recommended to shave off the head; I did that too, No result. I wish to have the dense hair I had before. Can something be done?

You may be suffering from androgenic alopecia or which is also called as pattern baldness. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is minoxidil and finesteride tablets. There is no other alternative. No oil or cream works will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects on the hair roots. You can also consider platelet rich plasma therapy for faster results. Please consult me with photos for proper examination and treatment.
