I have been suffering from hair loss and baldness for more than five years. I have visited several dermatologists and completed treatment courses, but the results were not as expected. Many have advised me to undergo a hair transplant, which I do not want because the results vary from person to person and there is no guarantee even after spending a significant amount. I have also tried many hair oils for hair reduction and regrowth, but they did not work. I am looking for some treatment that can help me. I am awaiting your reply.

Chronic hair loss may be genetic or hormonal. If topical or oral treatments have failed and transplant is not an option, consider PRP therapy, microneedling, or low level laser therapy. Iron, thyroid, or PCOS related imbalances also need review. Hair oils usually do not help with medical hair loss. A dermatologist can help reassess.

Question

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.

Question

Hi, I am a 24 year old female experiencing severe hair fall and thinning. I have already lost about 50 percent of the hair on my scalp. My doctor suggested blood tests, which came back normal, and has now prescribed Finasteride tablets. Is it safe for me to take Finasteride? I am planning to get married in the next 6 months, and I have heard it can have side effects. Please advise.

Question

I have been having hair problems for the last 1 year, with excessive hair fall. My blood test shows low vitamin D and vitamin B12. I have been taking Nutrilite Cal Mag D and vitamin B12 supplements for the past month, but I have not seen any improvement. Due to WFH, I am living in Sangli, Maharashtra. I have also had some period related problems in the past 2 months. I think the hair loss may be due to hormonal imbalance. Please help me understand what I should do and which specialist I should consult to treat this issue/ Thank you.
