Suggest Remedy For Hair Loss

Hi, I'm 25 years old and am loosing hair rapidly, specialy towards the front of my head. I've been taking a lot of vitamins D,B,A,Iron, a good multiple, but I'm still loosing hair. I want to have tests done and get a definet dianoses. I want to have my hormones checked out, and also to get a biopsy done on my scalp, to rule out any kind of fungus. Do I need to contact a hair specialist or can I go to any doctor for the scalp biopsy?

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of hair loss known as alopecia problem which can occur due to genetic factor, fungal infection, covering head with cap and hormonal changes . Stress is additional factor to your condition.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test and physical examination . Doctor may prescribe you drug like finpecia at least for 3-4 months or anti fungal treatment along with minoxidil spray. Wait for scalp biopsy. You should start taking supplements like Vitamin A ,Omega-3 and Vitamin E. Take Indian gooseberry powder ( half spoon ) with water once a day and use almond oil.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
