Hi lybrate-user! sorry to hear your negative response ,even though you have consulted many doctors. Diffuse hair loss is a difficulty entity, which needs to be thoroughly evaluated. Hormonal problems like pcod ,thyroid problems, genetic issues etc need to be checked. Moreover depending on your history, you are also suffering from folliculitis scalp (bumps on the scalp). Folliculitis per se need to be checked .this is a very chronic problem ,which takes a longer time to resolve. Internal health like diabetes, hypercholestrolemia, atopy ,obesity, diet, stress etc can be associated with folliculitis scalp. Check your weight, lipid profile, sugar levels etc to find out the association. Reduce diet having high glycemic index, oily foods which control flares or pop ups. Usually, nose (nostrils) is the reservoir of bacteria like staph ,so try to put mupirocin oint or sodium fusidate cream in the nostrils to avoid bacterial colonisation. Dermatologist for further evaluation. For time being use ,ketoconozole and zinc pyrithrone containing shampoos dermatologist for further evaluation. For time being use ,ketoconozole and zinc pyrithrone containing shampoos. Please try to come online for a better consultation. We can try minoxidil lotions, prp etc for better outcome and results.

Tugain 2% solution needs to be applied topically on the skin. It falls under a category of drugs known as vasodilators. On using tugain 2% solution you may experience certain side effects. These are skin rash, itchiness, acne, redness of the skin, a burning sensation on the scalp, facial hair growth and a sudden increase in hair loss. Certain rare reactions that may occur in case too much of tugain 2% solution is absorbed into the body are problems with eyesight, chest pain, fainting, dizziness, fast or irregular heartbeat, headache, lightheadedness, rapid weight gain, and swelling.
