Suggest Treatment For Severe Hair Loss

Hello, I am Rajiv from New Delhi. One month before I had a hair spa because I was suffering from dandruff issues. It was my first time and before that I never had any other problem related to hair (except dandruff one). Just after one week I observed hundreds of strands of hair whenever I was taking bath, and even on other occasions. I went for the herbal shampoos and I am still using one of it. I have increased my consumption of protein and Vitamin rich foods such as egg. But still after more than a month I can t see any significant change. Believe me,before that I never suffered from hair fall like problems and now it s becoming worse. Please help me with this.

Hi,

Well, effective treatments for some types of hair loss are available. But some hair loss is permanent. If your hair loss is caused by an underlying disease, treatment for that disease will be necessary.

This may include drugs to reduce inflammation and suppress your immune system, such as prednisone. But also, 2 medications are used for treatment and include minoxidil and Finasteride.

If there is no success with these then hair transplant or restoration surgery can make the most of the hair you have left.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
