Hairfall and thinning of hairs
Hello Doc,
Earlier I had thick and strong hairs but they started greying so I shaved my head and went bald and when my hairs grew again, I found my hairs have become thin and I am experiencing regular hairfall specially in front area of my head, hairs are falling rapidly and this hairfall problem is genetic. I use expensive hair Oil and Shampoos like Kesh King, Dr. Batra but all went in vain. Kindly help me in solving my genetic hairfall problem.
Thanks

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