Hairloss. Reducing Hairline On Forehead. Medication?

Hi sir, I am 22 yr old. I am suffering from hair fall . My father has baldness even my grand father. I fear that it will follow me too. I have shifted to chennai, So didn t find the water here good for my hair. My hair fall is like forehead lift . Its falling as a line on forehead how will i reduce it, how to cure it give me some medicinal tips. I cant cook or use juices as I am staying in a mansion. So find me a good medicine or lotion. Can i use mineral water to wash my hair instead of the water from the mansion.

Hi vignesh , dont worry you are suffering from androgenic alopacia (male baldness ) ie hereditary .You need to take the following treatment : tab biotin 10 mg(BTN ULTRA) 1 OD for altleast 3 months , tab finestride 1 mg OD for atleast 3 months and minoxidil 5% topical solution with aminexil 1.5% locally 1ml in your roots twice daily , & as an ans to your question washing your hair with mineral water will have no effect on your hair fall . Imp instructions : you have to wash your hands after application of minoxidil and you will on start getting the results after 1-2 moths so plz don't panic that the medicines are not working .
