I've been dealing with hair loss for the past four years and I'm not really seeing results from the treatments I've had with skin specialists. I'm wondering if using onion juice on the bald spots might help. Do you think that's a good idea or could it be harmful? I'd really appreciate any advice you could give me.

You can use onion juice it's naturally rich in vitamin E and essential nutrients, result is uncertain because cause of hair loss needs to be ruled out, visit trichologist for appropriate treatment.
