Hi,I am suffering from hair loss and thinning of hair. I am looking for a good dermatologist in Bangalore, who can help me to reduce the hair loss process and regrow my hair. I have a family history of hair loss, but I believe I can slow it down with medicines. I have been using Minoxidil 10% from past one year, I think its effectiveness has reduced with the passage of time. I would be grateful, if you can help me out. Am quite tensed, thanks
Hello, I can understand your concern it would be very helpful if I could know your age and gender and see some pictures of your scalp. You may have halogen effluvium of female pattern hair lessor an Chat Doctor. Hairfall may be due to lack of nutrients like iron or proteins in body, it may also be due to deranged thyroid levels. So to rule out halogen effluvium I would advise you to get your he, serum ferritin and thyroid levels tested.it may be genetic too. Application of minoxidil and oral biotin once a day can really be helpful to you. Minoxidil is slow method, it takes time to show results, and you have to be compliant with its use, leaving it abruptly can again result in hair loss. So be patient and keep using it. Still if you don't find any results you can go for procedure like PRP (plasma rich platelet) therapy, it could help you as results seen are very good. And you can consider hair transplant too. Hope it would help. Thank you
