Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
According to your complaints hair loss seems to be related to hormonal changes at your age.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply minoxidil 2 percent lotion on the affected areas twice daily.
The dose is 1 ml twice daily.
It needs to be continued for atleast 4-5 months to see significant results.
It needs to be a prescription drug and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
