Hello;
Thanks for your query.
Mintop is a product used to regrow hair but hair loss in itself is a very complex problem.
It is important to find the reason of hairloss and then get treated.
Hair loss can be due to many reasons like deficiency of multivitamins,iron(anaemia),diseases like hypothyroid,fungal infections of scalp like dandruff,ringworm,alopecia aerata etc.
I guess your doctor has started on fluderm for some infection of scalp as it is a steroid and will help to reduce itching and treat the infection.
Please use it as advised by your doctor and along with that start on some multivitamin and iron tablet if you are anaemic.
Hope fully hairloss will reduce and if not consult a Dermatologist for treatment.
Take care.
Regards
