Can hair grow back after Balding?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

It depends. If a follicle has closed, disappeared, scarred, or not generated a new hair in years, then a new hair wouldn't be able to grow

  1. Hair Regrowth Possibility:

    • Early Stages: Treatments like minoxidil or finasteride may help if follicles are not dead.
    • Advanced Balding: Natural regrowth is unlikely if follicles are inactive or destroyed.
  2. Other Causes:

    • Hair loss from stress, illness, or nutritional deficiencies might be reversible with treatment.
  3. Recommendation:

    • Consult a dermatologist or hair specialist to determine the cause and explore treatment options, including medications or hair transplants.

I've noticed a white patch on the skin of my penis, just under the head, and there are some small bumps that sometimes turn red. It's worrying me a bit because I'm not sure what's causing it. Could you give me some insight into what might be going on? Is this something I should be concerned about?

My friend has been dealing with a lot of unwanted hair growth in places like the navel and underarms. Are there any effective treatments for this that don't involve laser surgery?

Hormonal imbalance, PCOS, or genetics could cause unwanted hair. Options include waxing, shaving, depilatory creams, electrolysis, or anti-androgen medications—not only laser.

I've had warts on my feet for over a month now. The doctor recommended Watnil solution but it hasn't helped at all. My friends say it might need to be cut out with minor surgery, which really scares me. Are there any other medicines that can cure warts without surgery?

Its a very minor surgical procedure. Its done by electrocautery or by radiofrequency ablation. Its done under local anaesthesia. Treatment cost varies in different clinics. Lotion takes long time to act and it should be applied properly.
