Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You seem to have androgenetic alopecia. It is characterized by hair loss and gradual thinning of hair from the front, mid and vertex of the scalp. Minoxidil solution and finasteride tablet are approved medications for androgentic alopecia in males. I suggest you to use 1ml of minoxidil solution, twice daily on scalp skin. In addition I suggest you to take an oral antiandrogen i.e finasteride 1mg tablet, once a day for long. Treatment is long term and it is better to start treatment in early grade of hair loss, as it is easier to preserve existing hair than to regrow new hairs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I suggest you start applying Minoxidil 5% once a day at night for a minimum of 6-8 months to see result. This helps in hair growth. Also I suggest you kindly visit your concerned doctor or a dermatologist who would evaluate you thoroughly and guide you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
