Suggest Treatment To Control Hair Fall

Dear Doctor, My Name is Pradip and I am 27 Year Old. Since 9 Month I am losing my hair and now the stage like scalp is visible. Also I consulted with doctor they suggest me for Mesotherapy which I had done before 4 month back at 2 times. Still no benefit. Today onward I started to take Tinafal Forte Tables twice in a day. Can you suggest me another tables for the same or other medicine. Should I consult to doctor? I am getting depress due to this reason. Please help me. Note: In My Family My Father has same problem and Grand Father as well.

Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic

Your problem of hair fall is definitely linked with similar history in your family history.
Scalp hair are genetically programmed for thinning and hair loss under the influence of testosterone. This programmed hair loss and thinning is known as Androgenetic Alopecia.
Hair loss is predominantly from the top of the scalp; there is anterior hair line recession and widening as well as deepening of the angles of anterior hair line thus giving a "V" like shape to the anterior hair line.
Minoxidil and Finasteride have approval from US FDA for use in this type of alopecia.
Treatment must be begun early to arrest progression of alopecia to later stages from which recovery may be difficult. The goal of treatment is to arrest the progression of alopecia.
The tablets you have just begun contains Biotin which would help in recovery of hair fall along with minoxidil and finasteride but it is not specific therapy for this type of alopecia.
I would suggest that you visit a dermatologist for a confirmatory diagnosis as well as appropriate prescription
