Patches,Androgenic Alopecia,alopecia Arerta, Diagonised 3 Tricort Injections, Folica Tincture, Trigaine Shampoo. Continue Or Any Treatment?
Hi, I am currently 23 years old. I am loosing hair very rapidly and thinning of hair is also there, I also have 2 patches of alopecia arerta. I consulted one dermatologist, he told me that I am suffering from 2 disease- Alopecia arerta and Androgenic Alopecia. After 3 Tricort injections I am getting hair back in the patches, but my front hairfall is not stopping. For hairfall my doctor has suggested Folica Tincture, Trigaine shampoo and some conditioner. Please suggest me whether this will help in preventing hair fall. Should I continue with the medicine? Or is there any better treatment available?
