The medicine is otherwise known as Silica.
Don't apply any oil/cream to the hair. Avoid frequent shampooing. Wet your hair a little bit before combing.

This is one medicine where it is spelled differently at different sites.
What you are referring to is O.K. Nothing but minor spelling variations.

No. For chronic problems it is better to start low with frequent repetitions. We have to up the potency at later stages.
Stick to 6x for the time being. It is available in all homeopathic pharmacies.

Continue Silecia 6x for one more week. I hope you have 30c and 200c on hand. We need them later.
Don't bother about hair fall now. There are many options available to treat bald hair problem surgically. We will discuss about that later.
An occasional acne may come and go. Don't worry.

If your sore scalp gets cured, it may improve your hair too. Baldness is a genetic problem and very difficult to cure with any therapy.
However, constitutional prescribing helps to some extant, which we are doing anyway.
You won't see results within a week or two. You need treatment for at least six months to get appreciable results. There may be ups and downs in between. You have to be patient.
