Dermatologist 's  Response
From your history, it looks like you have androgenetic alopecia..this condition has no relation to your previous illnesses.
Since it is only recent, apply Mintop 5% lotion on the scalp 1 ml bd
Use X-gain shampoo for shampooing
Mintop works little slow, takes 2 months to start working, maximum effect can be found around 6 months..u need to continue its usage
Review after 2 months
I find this answer helpful
