Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain hairfall can occur due to a number of causes and Androgenic Alopecia caused due to sensitivity of hair follicles to androgenic hormones and genetics is a common cause in males..
While other causes comes under Telogen Efluvium caused by fungal infection,nutritional deficiency, stress, long standing illness, side effects of medicines..

As you are using 2% solution of Minoxidil lotion it is a very low concentration to induce hairgrowth ad limit hairfall..

You should consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and he can advise you investigations like hormonal assy, blood tests, trichogram, dermoscopy to rule out the exact cause of the problem and treat you accordingly..

You can be advised to apply 5% Minoxidil lotion over the scalp..
You can be advised to take Biotin and multivitamin supplements..
You can also be advised to take Finesteride orally if there is androgenic aloepesia as it suppresses androgens..
You should massage the scalp with warm coconut oil..
You should take a nutritious diet and drink plenty of water..

You can also discuss about platelet rich plasma and Mesotherapy..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
