What is the treatment for severe hair loss?
Patient: I'm 26, My hair has been thining for the last year and half esp in the front and the sides. Now I started witnessing some facial hair as well which I didnt have before. I went to a dermatologits for my hair loss and she did a scalp biopsy, but I'm still waiting for the results. If it's a hormonal problem, should see a GYN/B? Doctor: Hi Dear,Understanding your concern. As per your query, you have symptoms of severe hair loss which seems to be due to nutritional deficiencies, systemic conditions, compromised immunity of the body, genetic factor, fungal infection and hormonal changes.Need not to worry. I would suggest you maintain complete hygiene and take biotin supplements. You should consult a dermatologist for proper examination. The doctor may order skin patch test, blood test and physical examination. Wait for biopsy results and start treatment accordingly. Keep your scalp dry. Take Indian gooseberry powder with water once a day and use olive for massage.Hope your concern has been resolved.Best Wishes,Dr. Harry
