Suggest Treatment For Hair Fall In Males

Hi my name is Peter. I have suffering from hair fall . around 20 hair strands fall everyday in the morning. I used to use hair gel in till mid of last year and then i stopped. now i apply almond oil every morning after the bath. Apart from the I use to keep my hair wet does it contribute to hair fall..?? My dad is also bald. So i would also have the same hereditary problem but what could be done so as to reduce the hair fall rate.??

Hi Peter..

It seeme that probably you may be having male pattern baldness like your father. In your case, it may be starting phase..stage I. It is also known as androgenetic alopecia.

You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. Reduce stress and anxiety related hair loss. If you wish, you may start treatment,otherwise you may wait.

Finasteride 1mg daily with biotin containing tab may be suggested by your dermatologist. He might prescribe minoxidil 5% soln to apply on the scalp.
You may cleanse the scalp with ketoconazole containing shampoo.

Have patience for the good result.

Thanks.
