Male pattern baldness - Minoxidil
I am a 18 year, shedding hair. My doctor prescribed me to use minoxidil topical solution 5% (IMXIA). I am planning on using it for 2 months, but now everybody is telling me that as soon as I will stop using it i will have even more hair loss. I have used it only 1 time my question is whether I should use it or not?
Because i would go natural treatment better than loosing hair in synthetic treatment.

You are 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 receeding from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. It is usually accompanied by severe dandruff which we call seborrhoea. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is the best. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects of DHT on the hair roots. Please contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment.
