Hair fall and graying. Was since 18!

Thanks for the query. Hair care is a daily ritual shaped by age, gender, socioeconomic status and internal health. Premature graying of hair is not uncommon in general population in today's world. The cause could be multi-factorial and needs to be assessed. It could be genetic, environmental, constitutional or some nutritional deficiencies. While the treatment options are limited, an attempt to prevent further graying can definitely be made. Hairfall is also an increasingly common problem. The treatment typically consists of usage of oral medication (Finasteride) and topical lotion (Minoxidil in 5% strength). One needs to be patient with the treatment protocol as it takes months to see initial improvement. Certain dermatologists supplement biotin, hair serum and advice procedures like PRP therapy which may accelerate the rate of hair growth. Apart from active pharmaceutical medicines, a healthy diet and lifestyle is mandatory to achieve results.

Start on biotin supplements and food rich in iron content.

Your dermatologist will decide a treatment plan for you after a consultation.
