Hair Loss And Receiding Hairline
I'm a 26-year-old male experiencing progressive hair loss for the past 8 years. Before age 18, I had no hair problems whatsoever, but the loss started suddenly and has worsened over time despite trying multiple treatments.
I've consulted with homeopathy practitioners, Ayurvedic doctors, and dermatologists. I've used topical minoxidil, ketoconazole shampoo, and various other recommended treatments. Oral finasteride and minoxidil worked temporarily for 1-2 months, but the hair loss resumed immediately after stopping the medication.

After taking finasteride, my hair growth has completely paused for the past 4 month I'm worried whether there might be an underlying serious health condition causing all of this

Hello, based on your history of progressive hair thinning for 8 years, slow hair growth, receding hairline, early white hairs, occasional scalp acne, and temporary response to medicines, it is very important to rule out underlying causes like nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalance, chronic inflammation of the scalp, or autoimmune tendency. Finasteride stopping your hair growth for the last 4 months also needs proper evaluation.
For your current condition, the best next step is to do GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) treatment, as it helps in strengthening weak follicles, improving hair density, and restarting growth in resistant cases like yours.
Please consult me directly once your tests are ready so I can guide you properly and plan the treatment.
