Feeding mom- can use Minoxidil?

2022-06-14 08:11:41
I'm feeding to 4 months baby. Can I use Minoxidil (doctor recommended) as a feeding mother. Is MX-5 safe using now. How to use and what %? And how many months should I use? (Before 2 years I already used it and hair have grown and after stopping it - what ever hair came- lost it. And also felt very itchy scalp using it.) Please suggest. Thank you Doctor.

Yes.. however treatment depends on the grade...You are suffering from hormonal changes causing Telogen effluvium causing hair fall. It's completely stoppable even regrowth of hair is possible with certain medications without any side effects. Treatment depends on the grade of hair loss. So, it's a must for diagnosing which grade, you are in for an effective treatment. Please  send more photos of your head, by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
