Que: I have been noticing some hair loss since the past few weeks, and since the past 2 months, I started using Finasteride, because Minoxidil tends to irritate my scalp. I would like to know whether I would be a good enough candidate for hair transplant.

Ans: The answer to this question can be given only after a thorough examination of your hair and scalp. We would have to look at aspects such as your age, the progression of hair loss, family and medical history and so on. However, our first line of management is almost always medical, because a surgery is a big decision. If the topical solutions are not working out, then a transplant would certainly be on the cards.
