Suffering hair loss
Hey!
Well, I am suffering from hair loss. Most probably it's genetic as my father and grandfather also possess bald heads. But I started losing hair in just 16!
Now, at 18, I have lost almost half of my hair. Problem worsens as I belong to India- the land of stereotypes!
Not only my hairline is taking a huge m shape, but also the rest of my scalp is very very visible. I have undertaken a few medical courses and treatments (one of them being homeopathic). But none turned out to be effective.
I expect a decent and honest opinion that should I keep some hope in my mind or not! Please recommend me some good and effective hair supplements. Something that may turn up just wizardly!
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.
