My Dear

Welcome to Healthcaremagic!

I have noted your details and it fits a condition called Androgenetic Alopecia.
This condition is due to genetic factors and the hair loss is at first confined to both front and sides but later on other areas too get involved.

For most of my patients of this condition, I prescribe Minoxidil 5% solution for topical application, one ml each application for several months. results are good but it takes several weeks before you can actually notice them.

Please follow the instructions and you should be feeling good after some months.

Best wishes.
