Talk to Dermatologist on Severe Hair Fall

Asking For Self, Female 50, lahore

Is it safe to take folic acid 5mg (zafa) as a vitamin supplement on regular basis any age restriction or side effects? As facing severe hair fall but not a carona paitent.

Member of Marham-Forum

It's not know if Folic acid stops hair loss or helps in hair Regrowth. I don't know who prescribed you that.
Although you can take the tablets safely for 2 - 3 months, but I works like you to take a gap of few weeks before restarting.

Regards

Taking vitamin and mineral suppliments are not bad at all. They all are needed for metabolism in the body.
But taking those for the treatment of hair loss and baldness is not advised unless you have proven deficiency of those substances in your body.

For the treatment of hair loss and baldness first of all an experienced Dermatologist had to examine your scalp to see what exactly is wrong. It could be because if very dry scalp or hair, fungal infection, certain immunological disorders cause hair loss, hormonal abnormality, your diet and weight. It's not a thing that can be diagnosed by reading symptoms etc.

I am located in Karachi therefore I cannot examine you but you may take an appointment for online consultation.
Or else you find out a Dermatologist in your area who has great experience in dealing with hair disorders. Not all Dermatologist can do that.
