Hair fall review: the plan

Man, 29. Thinning at the crown for 14 months. Hair tablets for 6 months, no change.

Sample

What the dermatologist found

Pattern hair loss, early. Crown and front both thinning, no scalp redness or scaling.
Father and uncle have the same pattern.
No illness, weight change or new medicine in the last year.

The plan

Start: Minoxidil 5% solution, 1 ml to the scalp twice a day.
Discuss: An oral option for pattern hair loss, after the side effects are explained.
Stop: The hair tablets. No deficiency was found; they are not helping.
Tests: None needed now.
Expect: More shedding in weeks 2 to 6, then regrowth from month 4.

Photos again at 12 weeks, same light, same angle.

Is this you?

Written for the person who has already spent on products and is not seeing a change.

The review is for you if

You have taken Follihair, Hairbless, biotin or another hair tablet for months and see no change.
You use minoxidil but nobody told you which strength, for how long, or what to expect.
Your parting is widening, or your hairline or crown is thinning.
Hair falls with dandruff or an itchy scalp.
A parent has the same pattern and you want to act early.

See a doctor in person instead if

A child under 12 with hair loss, which needs an in-person examination.
Sudden patches of hair loss with pain, pus or scarring of the scalp.
Hair loss with fever, unexplained weight change or a new rash, where the cause may not be the scalp at all.

A dermatologist reads the case

Step 3
Plan, prescription, follow-up
What this is, what to use, what to stop, what to test. The prescription is yours to fill with us or anywhere. Ask follow-up questions for 7 days.

What the dermatologist does

The review is a doctor's work, not a questionnaire that picks products.

Name the type of hair loss from your photos and history: pattern hair loss, shedding after illness or stress, a scalp condition, or more than one at once.
Prescribe what works for that type and strength: the right minoxidil, oral treatment where it is suitable, a medicated shampoo when the scalp is the problem.
Tell you which of your current products to stop and which to keep.
Order blood tests only when they would change the plan, such as thyroid, iron stores and vitamin D.
Set a 12-week review point and tell you what change to expect by then.

Start the review

You will be asked to sign in with your phone number. The dermatologist sees your answers and photos, and nobody else does.

Not for emergencies. A spreading rash with fever, swelling of the face, or sudden hair loss with pain needs a doctor in person today. Call 108 if someone is seriously unwell.

Questions

Other reviews: Acne review, Fungal infection review.

Can a dermatologist really judge hair loss from photos?

For most hair loss, yes. The pattern (crown, hairline, parting, patches), the scalp's condition and your history decide the diagnosis. If the doctor needs a closer look or a test, they say so in the review.

Will I get a prescription?

When treatment is needed, yes. The prescription is written in the consult and you can order it from our pharmacy or any other.

I am already on minoxidil. Is this still useful?

That is the most common case. The review checks the strength, how you apply it, whether anything should be added, and whether your hair loss is the kind minoxidil treats at all.

How long before I see a difference?

Hair grows slowly. Most treatments show their first change at 3 to 4 months, and the doctor sets a 12-week review so you are not guessing.
