Suggest treatment for hair loss
Patient: i am experiencing hairloss on one side of the scalp and also there is some itching , i understand that might be totally genetic , but i just want to make sure if its genetic , otherwise i'd be loosing my precious hairs just because of ignorance , what kind of tests i need to go through and what kind of medications i need ? Doctor: Hello. Loss of hair on one side of the scalp and localized to one well defined patch or multiple patches would suggest to be  ALopecia Areata. It is an autoimmune condition which could be stress related and genetic and many other reason. I would like to do for my patient some blood test which include Serum Vit D3 and Serum Vit B12 and Serum Ferritin and Thyroid profile. Next you should definitely get it checked from your doctor to confirm the diagnosis. If its a localized then Intralesional Corticosteriod are given by a dermatologist once a month for 4 to 5 injections.Hope this helpsBestDr Batul Patelwww.drbatul.com
