What to do about thinning hair on the top of the head, and how to treat it
Disease description:
When people in my family reach a certain age, the hair on the top of their head gradually becomes thinner. I've noticed that my own hair on the crown is thinning as well, so I'm wondering what can be done about thinning hair on the scalp, and how it can be treated?

After experiencing thinning hair on the scalp, it is important to choose an appropriate treatment based on the underlying cause. If the condition is due to hormonal imbalance leading to insufficient growth hormone, medications such as vitamin B1 and finasteride tablets may be used under medical guidance. If it is caused by seborrheic alopecia, treatment may include taking vitamin B2, vitamin B6, and similar supplements. When necessary, hair transplantation surgery can also be considered to improve the condition.
