If hair loss or baldness is caused by poor local blood circulation, physical treatments such as acupuncture and massage may be used to improve blood flow in the affected area, thereby promoting the growth of new hair from hair follicles. If the hair loss is due to seborrheic alopecia, medications that inhibit seborrheic alopecia can be used under a doctor's guidance. Commonly used drugs include ketoconazole capsules and tetracycline hydrochloride tablets.
