Hi there Richa.
I do understand your trepidation as both men & women are equally concerned about hair loss nowadays.
You have just visited a dermatologist who will have assessed you & then given you the medications. Have faith. They are all good. But to give you an oinion online whether they will work would be a touch flippant on my part. Yes, the oiliness you feel should go down but it may take time for hair to regrow.
If you want to increase volume, then might i suggest autologous stem cell injections into your scalp that a competent dermatologist would be happy to oblige you with. If in Bangalore, you are most welcome to come over to my set-up. Cheers & wish you a full thick head of hair soon.
