Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi dear,

I can understand your concern as you are still young and your hair fall process has begun, we'll it's androgenetic alopecia as you know,

yes process of hair fall can be halted and hair gain can be obtained to some extent.

you should continue minoxidil 10 percent, do apply properly on scalp as explained in the booklet,and there is no major problem with minoxidil.

Continue multivitamin supplements

You can add tab finasteride or dutasteride to enhance and fasten the results,
Do keep in my few of side effects like loss of libido, rarely can be experienced.

Also add herbal hair oil,

and be complaint , and give some time before result seen ..it can take up to 3 to 4 months for visible results.

Later on we can also think of hair transplant after the age of 30 .

Thank you..
