Extreme hair fall and baldness?
I am having hair loss issues and loosing a lot of hairs. I have baldness issues in my family. Now there is a M shape at front and hairs are too lifeless and weak, can't even run my hand through them without breaking hairs. Recently I asked y family doctor and he suggests me to use monoxidil. Is it good to use monoxidil if I am considering this option for long duration. What are the worst sideffects, its alternatives, Should I take some multivitamin, which brand and foam/liquid should I use?

You may be suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts refeeding  from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. This may also be accompanied by severe dandruff. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is a lotion and tablets. There is no other alternative. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised  and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects on the hair roots. Please call me or  contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment. Do not start treatment without consulting. I can give guidance and then you can continue treatment on your own.
