I'm a 20-year-old guy who's been dealing with alopecia for the past 2 years, and it's been really tough. I've tried all sorts of lotions and medicines, but nothing seems to work. I've given Ayurvedic, natural, and medical treatments a shot, but still no luck. Honestly, it's taking a toll on my mental health, and I'm avoiding social events because of it. Could you suggest the best way to tackle this problem? I would really appreciate your help.
