Remedy for sparse body hair

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am dr. kakkar (dermatologist).
I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.
I would first like to rule out thyroid abnormalities. If that comes fine you may try application of minoxidil 5% solution, twice daily.
