Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Yes, the hair loss and the itching you have could be due to nutritional deficiency. Do apply MINOXIDIL 5% solution to the scalp this will improve the circulation and hence nutrition to the hairs and maintain the health and growth.

Also do take multivitamin supplements along with above remedy.

Hope, I answered your query.

Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

Minoxidil has to be applied to the scalp directly using an applicator provided with the bottle. There would be detailed instructions on the bottle itself. Apply it every alternate day and do not wash the hair for a day after applying it.

Becosules would be a better and easily available brand of multivitamins. You can take these.

Hope, I answered your query.
