Q. Three years ago I had radiotherapy, following which my hair fell out. Most of it has grown back now, but I still have patches of baldness. Will it ever come back completely?
A. I’m afraid it’s unlikely after this time, but your doctor may think of prescribing a minoxidil cream for you. It is put on twice daily for two weeks. If that doesn’t improve things, there is little point in continuing. Sorry.
