Dermatologist,  's  Response
Alopecia which you are describing is called male pattern alopecia.
It progresses in all individual and depends on the testosterone function on the hair cell. Minoxidil is the treatment of choice for this alopecia. In 1-2 months new hair will start to grow from beneath and few old hair will fall. When new hair grows about 1-1.5 inch. You will feel the response which takes about 3-4 months more. So in 6 months you will see response and in 12 months you will see complete response and then you have to continue applying minoxidil. Apart from it you should have healthy diet rich in green leafy vegetables and fruits. You might also need multivitamin supplements.
