Hi I am 25 year old male. I am suffering from male pattern baldness and instead of bald spots I have a receding hairline and general thinning through out my scalp ( not the sides and back )I have been on a treatment of minoxidil 5% , finax 1 mg , adgain hair supplement capsules and qsera hair serum for past 9-10 months. I have been taking once 1mg finax , once application of mintop 5 , one adgain capsules,once qsera application daily as part of the treatment For ease of application of topical meds I have also gone bald twice hoping for better hair regrowth. There has been some but not noticeable improvement. Recently I started suffering from severe hair loss , the moment I touch my hair I have atleast 10 -15 strands on my hand. I decided to give a break to all topical meds and get my hair loss under control thinking that the topical meds may have damaged my hair . I was losing about 500 or more strands per day so even applying these meds was worrysome due to excessive hairfall even on touching my hair grow Within 5 days of stopping the topical meds ( minox ) I developed severe itching and scaling on scalp. On consulting a doc I was told that I have severe dandruff and he prescribed me nizoral , an antifungal oral med and an antifungal serum. After the dandruff treatment for just a week the scaling/itching seems to be in control but hair fall is still about 500 stands per day. So my question is( sorry for the long description)- 1 why the massive hairfall ? is it possible that the hair are severely damaged due To continuous application of these meds 2 I have got thyroid checked so that cannot be the problem 3 I have been without mintop for 18 days . leaving mintop causes hair fall but then I left it because of severe hairfall in the first place so that doesn t seem to be the case. What should I do , continue the treatment irrespective of losing 500 hair or more each day or Use something to prevent this severe hair fall and then continue the topical meds. Also can you suggest me some shampoo. due to such fine hair ;prone to breaking putting additional meds on them for almost a year may have damaged the follicles. I want to continue the minoxidil treatment for atleast 4 more months till my hair grow to their original length ( as I said I had went bald) and I am able to ascertain the benefit of minox after about 1.5 years but this severe hair fall has become a hindrance . Please guide me on what to do ?
