I am suffering from severe hairfall. My front scalp is almost visible now and even a slight touch causes hair to break. I have been on medicines but have had no results and hence want to try PRP. Since I am only 21 I want to know the effects and results of PRP. I really hope to get my hair back at least to some extent. I have been advised to do PRP but I am still skeptical since there is a lot of money involved.

PRP can help in early hair thinning and is safe when done by professionals. Results vary. Try iron rich diet, manage stress, and rule out deficiencies first before opting for PRP. Please get Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, iron profile, and thyroid function tests done to identify any deficiencies contributing to the hair loss

Take a Vitamin B12 Test Test or Take a Iron Studies Test Test

I am suffering from alopecia areata. I have patches on my scalp, and now I am seeing patches in my beard and mustache. My hair is getting thinner, and I have too much dandruff in my beard. What should I do? Is hair regrowth possible? I have alopecia areata due to thyroid.

I am experiencing hair loss due to thyroid issues and am taking Eltroxin 50 mcg. My recent blood test results came back normal, but I am still suffering from thinning hair. What should I do to manage this?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been struggling with persistent dandruff, causing itching and hair fall. Despite undergoing treatment for 7 months, there has been no improvement, and I have also started noticing grey hairs. I have my blood reports as well. During the treatment, my doctor prescribed several tablets along with a lotion and shampoo. Currently, I have stopped the tablets but continue using Saliclo lotion and Tarryshine shampoo. I am unsure if I can overcome this problem. I am attaching my latest two prescriptions for your reference. Please advise on what to do next.
