Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

Your husband may be having androgenetic alopecia.

He may continue to apply minoxidil 5% solution. If possible, he may shift to minoxidil 10% solution.

If you get finesteride 1mg tablet, he may take it daily for long time.

Shampoo of ketoconazole may be used to cleanse the scalp daily.

Avoid to oil the scalp.

I hope this would help..

Thanks.

Dr. Ilyas Patel MD
