Brief Answer:
Take treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
I have seen the attached prescription.
You have been very rightly prescribed for your hair problem.
You have been given topical minoxidil lotion along with an antifungal shampoo and tablet Finasteride.
Now this is a standard prescription given to any male patient with hair loss .
It has to be continously taken for three to six months regularly and then according to the response, the treatment can continued for a longer time .
No major side effects are observed with this treatment in most patients .
However if you notice any headache or increased itching over scalp ,then you can consult your treating doctor once again .
