My daughter 18 yrs and a medical student is facing severe female pattern hair loss. We have consulted a few doctors, but there is no improvement. We have done a few tests like Vit D, Iron, Sugar, U/S, Thyroid, etc, and found normal. We have applied serum and tabs but there is no improvement. Could you please help us suggest the remedy or name expertise who deals with the same issues?

Ans: Please check her Hb. Iron deficiency Anaemia is one of the most common cause for hair loss.

My 14 year old son is having patches due to hairfall on head Alopecia Areta etc since last 7 years. As of now huge hairloss has happened and it affected almost total head which is highest in 7 years. During last 7 hears we had treatment from various Alopathic , Ayurvedic, Naturopathy doctors Skin specialists, Spirutual, Tribal etc. But we are very unfortunate. Please suggest us best treatment which may include diet, medicines, exercise etc. We also found some calcium, Vita D, B-12 etc which might have been covered. He has also little weak concentration, eyes blinking issue. We stopped higher level of medicines to continue for long as they contained steroids etc . Please give me detailed and manifold guidance.

Ans: The Usual treatment of Alopecia Areata is minoxidil, steroid injections and Vitamin D, B12 supplements. The next line of therapy is Immuno suppressants at low doses which can be tried in refractory cases. PRP treatment can also be tried. Stem cell treatment is also promising, but that can be done only as a part of a research. Give sometime and try and decrease the stress.

Hi sir, My OBC Certificate issued in 2021. Can I use this in neet 2025 application form for uploading documents? Please explain sir

Ans: Hi, OBC certificate is very old. The validity of the caste certificate is one year. You may use the same certificate for application purposes, but you must have a valid one, including the creamy layer and Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) status, at the time of admission. Your admission will be based on this. Therefore, it is advisable to obtain a new certificate.
Better apply for same and get it ASAP.
