Brief Answer:
Androgenetic alopecia, minoxidil lotion and finastride tablet

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I have reviewed the attached photograph and it seems to be androgenetic alopecia.
It is related to hereditary , genetic and hormonal factors.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply minoxidil 5 percent lotion on the affected areas of the scalp twice daily and take tablet finastride 1 mg once daily.
This needs to be continued for at least 4-5 months to see significant results.

Regards,
Dr. Asmeet

I am having hair loss problems , it started from january and slowly everyday i started losing hair, right now 20% of my hair is gone from the backside of my head.



I contacted a doctor and he took some test and said that i am losing hair due to iron deficiency in my body. also my diabetes is high right now at 10.2



I am taking some medications , but i keep losing lot of hair every day, it doesnt seem to stop.



Can you recommend the correct medication that i can use to control my hair loss and grow hair again, its really a big problem for me

Brief Answer:
Mintop forte solution, cap haemup, tablet finap

Detailed Answer:
I would recommend you to apply mintop forte solution on the affected areas of the scalp twice daily, take capsule haemup once daily in the morning and tablet finap 1mg once daily at night.
This needs to be continued for atleast 4-5 months to see significant results.
First there will reduction in hair loss followed by regrowth of hair.
Also keep your blood sugar levels under control as uncontrolled diabetes can aggravate hair loss.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
