Hello dear,

Morr F and Finax (pharmacologically Minoxidil and Finasteride) are known to boost hair growth in men suffering from male pattern baldness (Androgenic alopecia).
1. Minoxidil preparation (5%) applied directly to the scalp stimulates the hair follicles.
2. Finasteride preparations interferes with the production of male hormone linked to baldness.
So, the medicines prescribed by your Dermatologist are correct, kindly continue them as advised.
In addition, you also need to take Multivitamin & mineral supplements.

But before this, the problem of dandruff should be addressed.
Dandruff is basically Seborrheic dermatitis & can be treated with shampoos or lotion containing salicylic acid, coal tar, ketoconazole, or selenium.

There is no need to worry. Your hairs will grow back again.
Wishing you a Good Health.
Take care.
