Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 17 years old, and my hair is thinning gradually. I feel a significant difference from what it is now to a few years ago, and everyone I have asked has also said it looks very thin. My hair is prone to getting greasy quickly (every morning), so I try to wash my hair minimally as possible, usually every two days. I have colored my hair in the past, and I used to expose heat to it daily. But I have withheld from doing it for at least half a year, and I do not see any differences. I am worried I am going to lose all my hair. I consulted several doctors, who told me that all they could do was a blood test to see if I had any deficiencies, but everything was fine. What can I do? Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern. I suggest you to follow the instructions mentioned below. Take Follihair (multivitamin nutritional supplement), one capsule daily at night. Try platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for better results. Do not rub or comb your hair when they are wet. Do not use too many products for your hair. Take a rich protein natural diet. Sleep for eight hours a day and stay happy. Protect your hair from extreme temperature, cold, and dust. Avoid using a hair dryer. Kindly consult a specialist, talk with them and take the medications with their consent. I hope this has helped you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
