Dear Doc,
At 18, i used minoxidil solution for about 6 months.I had some help and then suddenly it stopped growing and started falling again.I stopped after six months and shifted to homeopathy. By then I had already lost a lot of hair.For the past 2 yrs i have been trying homeopathy but to no avail.I keep losing to male pattern baldness. No family history except for some thinning on moms hair.Pls help.
It sounds like you are going through rapid genetic hair loss. If the minoxidil was working initially and then after 6 months you stopped it, you probably experienced shedding of hair from the minoxidil withdrawal of the dependent hairs that you built up on the drug. You need to have your scalp and hair mapped out for miniaturization and if the results of that mapping show male patterned genetic hair loss, then you should go on Propecia. You need to block DHT with a therapeutic dose of the correct medication. Homeopathy does not offer powerful DHT blockers that are proven as safe and effective as a good prescription of Propecia. For your own good, do not waste your time, for time amounts to irreversible hair loss in those with rapid hair loss. You are using a water pistol to put out a fire that is consuming your valuable hair resources. Take command of your problem.

At least you tried doing that alternative way of curing. I think there are some sickness\problems which homeopathy really works while for other that needs a true medical attention after unsuccessfully trying the alternative way, where scientific studies has been done.

hello sir I am a 20 yr. male and recently i have noticed an acute shortage of hair on my fore head.
my hair does not fall in bulk or in large quantity. It is just that it is not regrowing i suppose, as i have never seen more than 7-8 hair strands, when i comb, can you suggest anythiong for hair regrowth… any thing would do.
Avinash, you’re overmedicating yourself without knowing the root of the problem. where exactly is your hair falling from? Till the problem has been ascertained, only take a mixture of Fluoric Acid 6, Phosphoricum Acid 6 and Kali Carb 6 three times a day. Thats the best ‘generic’ medicine you can take for your problem.
Azzy, if you’re losing hair on the vertex, you could try having Baryta Carb 30, thrice a day in water, for a few days. Otherwise provide more information.
