Excessive Hair Fall and Dandruff problem
Hello,
I have some serious hair fall and dandruff issue sice last one year and i was using Ketomac 2% shampoo to treat it for months. As there was no improvement with that i also consulted a doctor for this and as per prescription i took Tab AF 400 1/10 days, Onabet 2% lotion daily, and Keraglow AD Shampoo i did this for one month and i see no remarkable improvement with it. Please suggest me if i should continue with this prescription or there is something wrong with it.
Thanks.

You are suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts receeding from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. It is usually accompanied by severe dandruff which we call seborrhoea. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is the best. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects of DHT on the hair roots. Please contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment.
