Suffer Severe Hair Fall. Using Mintop Minoxidil. Side Effects?
HI Doctor,
Greetings ..!
I'm 32 years of Age (Male). working as software professional.
I'm having too much of hair fall in front side of the haed, ofcourse even my father and grand parents having this problem..
Recently i have started using the "mintop minoxidil 5%" oil from Dr. Reddy's laborotary. Last 10 days i m using this solution.
I have not observed any abnormalities with solution like itching, chest pain ..etc,
But i have cqusetion like below, as medcine says, it is only for "Back side hair loss"
1) is this solution really helps in re-growth of hair ?
2) if yes, is this solution helps in growin in Front side of the head ?
Tahnks in advance.. !
