Suggest Treatment For Hair Loss.
I have tried many different atopical treatments for folliculitis. Everything from the expensive ($500) to cheap to stop it and nothing has worked! My hair is slowly leaving the sides of my head which are now bald. I am female and very embarrased by this. Can anything other than Rogaine regrow my hair and stop the process of my hair being eaten away?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your case history of scalp folliculitis and hair fall, my treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like Fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an iron supplement and vitamin B12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
Thanks.
