Is there a cure for hair loss? In some cases, yes! Your doctor may be able to help you figure out if your hair loss is reversible.
Is it genetic?
Baldness seems to be the classic example used when explaining genetics in biology class. Do you remember the “B” and “b” in the Punnett squares? How many of use figured out we had a 75% chance of becoming bald that day?
Is your baldness caused by infection?
Is your scalp red and inflamed? There are some infections of the scalp that can contribute to baldness. Most of these infections are treatable. Your hair growth may resume after treatment if your baldness is caused by a skin infection.
Are your medications causing you to lose your hair?
This is a question worth having answered. Don’t pull your hair out finding it, though. Your doctor or pharmacist should be able to help you know which medications have this possible side effect and see if there is a suitable substitute.
Stimulus package for hair growth
There are topical medications that can help stimulate your hair to grow again. These also are worth looking into. Check with your doctor to make sure none of your current medications will effect or be affected by a topical hair growth preparation.
