Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello My Dear

Welcome to this website!

I have evaluated your problem and find it consistent with Male Pattern Baldness. This condition can start from the top crown, or the frontal hair line, in any order or simultaneously.

You are very right in your thinking that the hormonal preparations that you took might be the cause for the same.

The following measures work well in most of my patients with this kind of condition:

1 Handle your hairs gently. That means, avoid massaging and combing when they are wet.

2 Desist from use of chemicals on the scalp

3 Minoxidil 5% alone or one of its combination preparations Amexidil give gratifying results, but after a lag period of some months.

4 In general, the response justifies the use of this treatment strategy.

I hope you will now have a better understanding of your condition and will be able to proceed to improvement.

Our best wishes!
