Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain Androgenic Alopaecia occur due to sensitivity of hair follicles to Androgenic hormones and it leads to destruction of hair follicles and hair fall..
It is com.only genetic..
Minoxidil is the most commonly used agent for treatment of Androgenic Alopaecia and has to be applied for atleast 6 months to one year for appropriate results..
You can also take biotin and Multivitamin supplements..
You can also be advised Oral.intake of Finestaride as it suppress the Androgenic hormones and prevent hair fall..
You should Massage the scalp with warm coconut oil..
In case of worsening of side effects consult a Trichologist and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
