Minoxidil shedding after 5 months
I started to use morrf5 for the past 5months. The results were okay and it reduces my hair fall to a large extent. But for the past 15days I'm loosing density in my left temple and almost my scalp is visible (still using minoxidil). Is it a shedding phase? Or some other problem?

Hair fall could be due to underlying medical issues, hormonal changes or nutritional deficiencies, hence can persist inspite of using minoxidil
Kindly consult with relevant photographs for detailed discussion regarding your concerns and further treatment options
Consult online or alternatively, you may visit my clinic in Delhi for examination
