Hair falling out? Don’t panic!

A new drug called finasteride (Propecia) will soon be available on prescription for men, though it has not yet been tested enough to rule out possible harmful effects on women, and it is suspected of causing damage to babies in the womb.

Getting help
Whatever your hair-loss problem, warns Dr Fenton, the first step is to make an appointment with your GP who can refer you to a specialist if necessary. Hairline can provide any information you or your doctor need.

‘Don’t answer adverts in papers or go to commercial clinics,’ warns Dr Fenton. ‘A lot of these places prey on vulnerable people and even delay diagnosis of a medical condition while taking a great deal of money.’
