Hair issues
I'm a male of 24 years old. I had perfect hair no hairfall or recession issues and one day I used minoxidil as someone told me it would make hair nice and thick.
After using around 3 months I noticed immense shedding of hair and I stopped it instantly and my hair density reduced and it's been more than 6 months and my hair isn't back to its usual density.
Minoxidil ruined my perfect hair density.
What should I do.

Hello dear. I know this would sound crazy, but actually you should go back to using minoxidil. Add a peptide serum too.
