Hair Loss - Please Help

Hi,

My mother (age 51 years) has been suffering from hair loss (alocepia) for last 15 years.

The hair fall first started in 1989/90, which result in complete hair loss. As hair is very important part of a woman it was very distressing for her and she stopped going out.


We went to a number of doctors and it was of no use.
We came to know about a skin specialist. We went to him and he started medication. He inject steriod in the scalp of my mother and gave medicine (again steroid). The treatment went on for 2 years. Every visit the doctor was giving steriod injection on the scalp. The medication he gave was of 'Cortigen' group. As a result of the treatment hair growth started and almost all hair came back.

The side effect of the treat was there to be seen also. My mother gained a lot of weight.

After a few years hair started to fall again. We went to a few homeopath doctors they gave medicine which gave temoporary respite.

We heard about Dr. Batra and then we went to them for treatment. For last two years her treatment is going on. When we started the treated there was some improvement (growing of hair in some part of the scalp), like right side, back side and middle of the head. There is no improvement on the left side.
But the problem has been that one time there is growth in hair and after some time there hair falls.
So we are not confident about Dr.Batra's treatment now.

I will state the exact problem now:
1. Hair loss has been in all parts of the head i.e. front, middle, back, right and left. Whenever treatment has been done hari growth has been in all parts except left part.
2. There has been hair loss from eyebrows also. There has not been any growth in eyebrows.
3. Hair loss has occurred in Temple region also.

a) My mother is allergic to Sulphur (We have not done test in last 5 years).
b) She is also allergic to spinach and lefy vegetables.
c) She does not take milk. She has not been taking it right from her childhood. (Though she makes delicious milk based dessert for us :))
d) She keeps thinking/worrying about her children a lot.
e) She keeps worryin about the hair fall.
f) Since last 16 years when her hair fall started she had a few medical treatments:
i)Stone in Gall bladder. She was operated and her Gall bladder was removed.
ii) Stone in Kidney. She was treated for it and her stone got removed.(Lithotripsy was done)

After treatment started with Dr.Batra:
i) She was diagonsed with Arthiritis. Her medication started.
ii) She complained of red rashes on her skin which remained for an hour or two. Rashes were itcy and till the time it remained it was very uncomfortable. When it was brought to notice to Dr.Batra's people they suggested she take one pinch of Sodium bicarbonate in a glass of water for three days. This gave respite from the problem.

The current status of hair is that There are some hairs on the front, middle, right and back side part of the head. There is very very less improvement in left, both the temple and eyebrows. There is hair fall of those hair which have grown after the treatment.

Please help by providing some treatment/your thoughts.

Thanks,
Vicky.
