Suggest treatments for hairfall
Patient: Hi doctor,I had a severe hairfall bfore 6 months,so i had Xtraglo[Biotin,L-Methionine,L-Cysteine tablets] per nite for 3 months as suggested by a dermatologist,hairfall s almost controlled,so i stopped having tablets,bt nw im facing again,shall i start taking tablets or give any other suggestion plse.. Doctor: Hi,It may be telogen effluvium.Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.After thorough examination and investigations,he might give proper treatment. Blood tests for thyroid function,vitamin B12,Hb..etc may be done.You may restart biotin containing capsules along with vitamin E, which may be continued for long time. Apply mild steroid lotion on the scalp. Cleanse the scalp with mild herbal shampoo. Oiling the hairs with almond oil might improve the texture of hair shaft.I hope this would help.Thanks.Dr.Ilyas Patel MD
