Hey doctor, my friend is losing a lot of hair and he's starting to go bald. Is there any way to grow hair back on a bald spot?
While it may be challenging to grow hair on a completely bald head, there are some treatment options available that may help stimulate hair growth. One common medication used for male pattern baldness is Minoxidil, which is available in brands like Rogaine. It is typically applied to the scalp twice daily in a 5% solution for men. Another option is Finasteride, which is available in brands like Propecia. It is taken orally in a 1mg dose once daily. These medications may help slow down hair loss and promote some degree of hair regrowth in certain individuals. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your friend's specific situation.
