Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.I have worked through your query and have understood your health issues. I have gone through the pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity), I assure you not to worry.

This is the most common disease of men at this age. It is actually the male pattern baldness and you are lucky that you had noticed at such an early stage. It is stage 2 baldness and has just started.

1. Wash your hair daily and use slightly warm water (not hot water). Use Stieprox Shampoo only.
2. Sebum is the reason for oily feeling in the head. It is a glandular secretion. It will go away once you start daily shower.
3. It is called androgenetic alopecia and does not matter when your father got started with it. What matters is you started early.
4. Take Perfectil capsules (vitamin supplement with zinc) for hair, nails, and skin, once daily and continue till further order on follow up. It will give a glow to the skin and bulk to the hair.
5. Apply Minoxidil 5% solution twice daily as directed on the package insert.
6. Your scalp is looking like it has more sebaceous glands and hair type is silky thin.
7. Size of hair is good. Do not have long hair. Trim it regularly. This will help stop hair fall.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Yes, it will be fine. Start them right now and we shall review after three months. It will start the benefits slowly and may need a complete course of 6 months before full blown effects. So, do not worry if there is no visible change in 2-3 months. But, it is a must to have a follow up with pictures of the scalp in the next three months and if needed I will modify the treatment accordingly.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

People who are users of the products describe things differently; while professionals take the things based on clinical and scientific proofs keeping in mind whole the scenario and causes of the disease. Physicians also keep in mind how to cure the underlying cause of the problem that is not only due to a tropical disturbance but also has a disruption at the molecular and cellular level.

Your hair type does not matter when it comes to the dermatitis scalp problem. For example, a dry hair or a non dry one, both may have dandruff. We have to kill the cause through medicine, not to see the hair type. If we know the cause of the disease, we have to kill the cause and the disease will go away.

People think only dry skin type has dandruff. Dandruff may be due to an underlying scalp disorder irrespective of the skin type. You also used many anti-dandruff shampoos. Anyway, Stieprox (Ciclopirox Olamine) will handle your symptoms of head smells very bad if not washed your hair for 3 to 4 days. This smell is from fungal growth at microscopic levels and causes itch and smell that damages the hair follicles too and hair fall starts with receding hairline or top of the head baldness like you have.

You have to shampoo 3 times a week only. Other days of the week, only plain water bath, without shampoo. You also have the problem of androgenic alopecia additionally a cause of hair loss from the top of the head.

After a follow up I will see if you need some medicine to work at hormonal levels too or not. If you were not married, I would have prescribed that right away at first visit. But now we will take the others first, then we will decide how to proceed further.
