A member asked:

I have suffering seborrheic alopecia for 6 years. i am a 21 year old man from china.i tried balanced diet but it did not work. can you help me ?

Hmm: Consider seeing your doctor for other causes of alopecia. If it is seborrhea, Selsun, Nizoral (ketoconazole) may help, but with the alopecia you may need topical Minoxidil, Propecia or other medical procedures. Good luck
